From the Author
This book is about having fun drawing, not "how-to" stuff.
My students through 12 years of teaching this course at School of Visual Arts always asked me to "put it in writing" -- they improved without trying and had enormous fun doing it. The book maintains that premise and spirit with responsive drawings by many artists represented.

A first-rate book!
This book is not just another "how-to" book. They're are lots of those! Rather, this book is about self-discovery and its visual expression. It's a new approach which facilitates learning, even for the professional artist. Try it!
