Product Description
Review
A lovely little book . . . As much of a holiday companion or stocking stuffer as it is an office library staple. It doubles as a beginner's guide as well as a refining tool for more expert draughtspersons, showing hundreds of examples of genuine sketches. . . . This is a very handy guide that aims to increase the reader/user's 'personal satisfaction'. Well worth the money. --Austin Williams

A great little book
22 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book gets down to the essence of live, line drawing. The author is extremely helpful in getting the reader past his fears by giving encouraging words and giving great examples. One can easily progress with his advice, and change one's attitude from being hesitant to celebratory. A great place to start if you want to get past initial personally-imposed restrictions. This book, above all things, teaches courage--courage to draw and courage to express.

SImple, elegant
9 Jun 2009
Format:Paperback
The single most useful drawing guide I've seen, by an artist whose style is swift and lively, as it should be. Uncluttered pages abound with terse commentary and there is not a superfluous line, either in sketch or prose. Especially useful for those who love to use pen and ink.

not much in here
17 Jan 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
"An Introduction" is an appropriate subtitle. Nice examples, layout and descriptions of fundamental sketching techniques for architects/landscape architects. However, this is more like a pamphlet than a book. You can devour it in an hour. It is useful to think about the concepts and ideas while sketching but I really do not see myself turning back to this book for technique or drawing solutions down the road.
