Review by A Customer:’
I don’t believe there is one perfect book on drawing but if I was asked to recommend one for someone either just beginning or needing to improve their abilities, “Keys To Drawing” would probably be it. Generally well written and complete; the author offers good ideas without being intolerant of other approaches (apparently a rarity in art instruction) or of doing thing slightly out of sequence.
It’s especially helpful for someone who is not in an academic setting. My next suggestion would be to begin to put together a small library over time of the very best books on drawing including Nicolaides’ “The Natural Way to Draw”; some of Hale’s anatomy works; Guptill’s “Pen and Ink…”; etc. Drawing well demands a sincere desire to learn, some knowledge and a certain amount of real practice; this book will help on your journey – from someone who’s “been there”.
