What to Draw and How to Draw it

by E.G. Lutz

INSTRUCTIONS
In drawing from this book, copy the last diagram, or finished picture, of the particular series
before you. The other diagrams—beginning with number one, then number two, and so on—show how to go on with your drawing. They give the order in which to make the various strokes of the pencil that together form the completed picture. The dotted lines indicate where light lines are drawn that help in construction—that is; getting proportions correctly, outlining the general form, or marking details in their proper places. Do not press hard on' the pencil in making these construction lines, then they can be erased afterwards.

I redid every single drawing and it was fun! I can see how i gained confidence as i progressed. Recommend it as a good pass time.

🖍️ Here is a great old turn of the century book that shows how to draw simply. Easy to understand and follow. I remember having a similar book in my grammar school years.

Old-fashioned and charming in its own way but nope, I still can't draw. :)

Great for outline drawing & training beginner eye to see parts of the whole.

libro incompleto

Este libro está incompleto. Es la muestra y cobran por ello. No lo recomiendo para nada. Extraño que #Amazon permita esto.

Even if that book seems to be for children , but I liked it . One Of things I considered it as remarkable is that the book was published in 1913, but it's drawings & illustrations still impressing me very much .

This is really a remarkable book ... indeed it is an ideal gift for children

I downloaded this to amuse a six-year-old boy and he did have a lot of fun with it. But it won't turn anyone into an artist.

So you think it is easy to draw cartoon-level pictures? Maybe, if you follow these step-by-step instructions. This reprint is dated, but the fundamentals it teaches are timless.

Great book but beware Kindle version

Virtually unreadable with junk text, illustrations split into bits. A disgrace that Amazon sells this. They should pay people to get it.

Very dated!

A good beginning. For those of us that can't draw a straight line. Not bad at all. Recommend to beginners
