Product Description

Product Description

"Drawing relies on a clear vision. It also requires thought which, in, turn, builds understanding. Drawing cannot be detached from seeing and thinking about the fundamental nature of the subject matter being represented. The knowledge and understanding gained through drawing from life directly enhances our ability to draw from the imagination. Just as thought can be put into words, ideas can be made visible in a drawing to promote visual thinking and further stimulate the imagination. Once what is seen or imagined is made visible in a drawing, the image takes on a life of its own and communicates graphically. However eloquently or crudely, all drawings, speak to the eye." From the Preface . Francis D.K. Ching

The content in this book is very good for that I would give it 5 stars. I have Design Drawing by the same author which I also think is a good book.
The reason for such a low rating is for the kindle edition which I think is poorly executed. It reads like a PDF file! You would have to expand every
page in order to read the content, that's if you can get past the type which does not make it easy. In my opinion buy the actual book.

Drawing: A Creative Process 31 Aug 2000
By C. Cody - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Like the rest of Ching's books, this one is great as well. I use it as a resource for Drawing and illustration classes in college. It covers all the basics of sketching and drawing that are important to build a foundation for free-hand drawing. It covers everything from basic shapes and textures to gesture drawing and proportion. I also recomend the book "Design Drawing" by F. Ching.

On of the best basic drawing texts I have seen 17 April 2008
By Kate Darnell - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
Drawing: A Creative Process is my favorite guide and textbook for basic drawing. It covers, in an accessible way, basic concepts behind visually expressing ideas through drawing. Ching's section on perspective is especially good and is, like the rest of the book, clearly illustrated with Ching's own pencil drawings. The book does not contain examples of master drawings or lessons in art history, but it does provide an access point for someone wanting to learn how to visualize their observations and ideas.
