How to Draw
Sample pages include:
Fundamentals of drawing ... Basic structure of objects.
DESCRIPTION
A best-seller for 35 years; A timeless classic that has taught generations of artists; and will teach generations more. When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of the publisher's best-seller list; and it has remained there ever since. 'I believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them; realistically,' wrote Rudy de Reyna in this introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna's methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.
Structure ... Form ... Perspective ... Light and Shade ... Composition ... Values ... Still Life ... Figure ... Hands and Feet ... Heads and Faces ... Children ... Charcoal ... Wash ... Opaque ... Acrylic ... Ink
BACK COVER
Everyone wishes that he could faithfully reproduce the world around him - wishes that he could draw what he sees. Here is a book that teaches you how.
Rudy de Reyna believes that there are only four basic shapes in nature - the cube, the cylinder, the cone, and the sphere. Every object is based on one of these geometric shapes, although the shape itself may be greatly modified. Once you can see the basic shape of an object, you can draw that object, no matter how much detail it may contain.
Part one discusses the fundamentals of drawing. There are clear; concise, and lavishly illustrated projects. Each project is arranged so that one is slightly more complex than the one before.
In part two, the author explains the use of media not usually described in a drawing book - wash, opaque, watercolor, and acrylic. He provides exercises to help the student gain proficiency in handling each of them.
