Drawing For All It's Worth: How to Learn and Why
Enter into the world of drawing and the practice of art, and open your eyes to the techniques that will allow your skills to take shape and your talent to blossom.

Through these pages, you will see the world of form with expanded vision. Step by step, through detailed exercises, you will come to understand lines, shapes, contours, composition, and texture, becoming familiar with the tools of your craft.

You will go beyond-to explore the influences that have shaped art through the years-when art was painted to express written ideas to the birth of "unconscious" art. Along the way you will learn about photography in art, and how copying produces false art, or art without awareness.

You will also discover the powerful personal qualities that allow an artist to progress and the vices that keep your creative roadblocks in place, and the way drawing shapes the brain. Most of all you will explore your senses and open your eyes to the synthesis that true art creates.
