The Drawing Lesson: A Graphic Novel That Teaches You How To Draw

Product Description:

Read a graphic novel and learn how to draw? It sounds unorthodox, but that's exactly what Mark Crilley"drawing instructor and graphic novelist"has accomplished. The "story" itself is, appropriately enough, about a wannabe artist who meets a real artist and begins taking impromptu lessons from her. Each chapter is actually a lesson on drawing; the book covers every basic aspect of drawing (and a few advanced ones), from shapes, to light & shadow, to creating whole compositions. The artist in the story, Rebecca, offers numerous tips and practical advice akin to a real drawing class. Every chapter then ends with encouragement to practice and tips to help. The idea is to take it slowly, taking time to draw and utilize each lesson as you go, gradually becoming better through a mix of practice and practical knowledge. By the book's end, the reader can put all the lessons together and become a real artist! My sister (who took several drawing classes) describes the book as the "important highlights" of a drawing class: a cost-effective way to learn everything you need to know to draw, as long as you practice diligently. Perfect for adults and young artists-in-development! 137 pgs, sc.
