More About This Book

Overview

When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill’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 his 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 of an object—cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere—and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.

"Explains in words and in good illustrations the fundamentals of drawing."--American Artist

Editorial Reviews

Library Journal
More than three decades ago, De Reyna produced the first edition of this extremely popular book in an already crowed field, and it quickly became a classic. Emphasizing fundamentals, he urges readers to identify the basic shape of an object-cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere-and to use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains. This compact 35th anniversary edition touches on still life, landscapes, and figure drawing in pencil, charcoal, watercolor wash, acrylic, and ink. De Reyna's dedication and enthusiasm are evident on every page. Recommended for all collections; advanced students should see Jenny Rodwell's Drawing: A Complete Course. Copyright 2006 Reed Business Information.

    Excellent Beginner's Book

    This book is an excellent resource for all artists. It teaches beginners the basics, from drawing a straight line to creating realistic drawings in interesting compositions. This book makes an excellent refresher course for novice artists as well.

    Great book..

    Most Art books have pictures but not much explaining....this does both...which I need. I am not a visual learner, so I need words. Covers all you need to learn to draw in a professional manner. Explains details well....
