 The One to Get!! |
| Review Date: October 11, 2007 |
| Reviewer: R. P. Jones, Greenville, RI United States |
I discovered this unassuming volume after buying four other drawing books and looking through about fifty others. While finding a lot of good things in the other books, none of them had what I was looking for in a beginner's guide - a solid step-by-step foundation course starting from square one. Too many drawing books, I learned, either turned into art displays - filled with beautifully rendered drawings and too little instruction, focused too much on certain aspects of drawing at the exclusion of others, or were poorly organized with a vague sense of direction. What I wanted was a solid stone on which to build my drawing and (eventually) painting skills...and I found it!
Where Mr. and Mrs. Willenbrink have succeeded so magnificently is in both the completeness and organization of their material. They assume nothing while providing valuable insight on every page. Their goal is to get you drawing - quickly and correctly. Not a word is wasted on lofty theories and no drawings are displayed without full and easy-to-follow instructions on how they were created. This is a book that will teach you how to walk before trying to teach you how to run.
The book's six chapters are laid out clearly and logically, starting with how to hold the pencil and a great overview of sketch types. From there the chapters cover basic shapes, measurement and perspective, value, and composition, with over 25 step-by-step practice drawings to apply what has been discussed.
I could not find a better presentation of this material in any other drawing book. If you dream of being an artist and don't know where to begin...start here!

| Reviewer: Vera L. Hassell, |
| I purchased this art book for my 12 year old granddaughter. She was doing some very nice sketching but did not know any of the techniques that you need for shading, etc. She was thrilled with this book and spent a couple of hours on Christmas day drawing from it. She is homeschooled and will use it weekly for art class. |
Best for the beginner

| Reviewer: Pottery Gal, Columbia MO |
| As a beginner to drawing I have checked out many drawing books from the local library. My classes are very informative but I can't remember everything that is taught and this book covers all the beginning techniques with lots of examples. I think it is the best of the many that I have read. |
