Book Overview

Learn How to Draw presents elementary drawing instruction through illustrated lesson notes for teachers and students. The opening material establishes a recurring preamble focused on eye-to-hand coordination, pencil control, light and firm lines, margins, and page preparation.

The lessons then introduce perspective and three-dimensional drawing on a two-dimensional page. Topics include cityscapes, room interiors, railways, archways, roads, books, portraits, roses, and methods of shading.

The course is organized for approximately 40-minute lessons, with additional home study of 10 to 20 minutes. It is designed for learners who may be interested in art, architecture, illustration, design, engineering, surveying, construction, and related visual fields.
