Book Reviews of How to Draw What You See (Practical Art Books)
Book Review: Win at drawing with various media, especially pencil
Summary: 4 Stars
I particularly like the way Ruby De Reyna (the author) sets up the lesson and explains the details with illustrations. My favorite project is Project 14: Drawing Outdoors with lots of little hints to make a sketch come alive. About light he says "study it at different times of the day, and make rough sketches just to see which angle of light gives you the most interesting or descriptive shadow pattern."
Ruby De Reyna also gives practical advice. My Favorite is "remember the fewer materials you encumber yourself with outdoors, the better."
I use this book as reference as well as for technique practise sessions.
Summary of How to Draw What You See (Practical Art Books)
.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.
