Drawing Textbook

by Bruce McIntyre

The Drawing Textbook is designed to teach drawing at all levels of education from grade one through adult education classes. The simplest of tools are used for this drawing - education process - a simple pencil and ordinary typing sized paper. There are 222 drawing exercises in the Drawing Textbook that are used to introduce, teach, test, and give practice in the use of the seven elements of drawing and alignment, used by everyone who knows how to draw. Each exercise introduces a new idea or adds to previous drawing concepts already introduced. The Drawing Textbook gives a background discussion of drawing and how the following topics relate to education, communication, talent, art, public school art programs, and goals for the drawing student.

I took a class from Bruce at OCC in the 1970s... it was a fun class and I had my son Patrick who was five at the time take it with me. Patrick still remembers the lessons from that class.
I was already doing lots of art work and I took it for fun and I enjoyed it all. The book is exactly what he taught in the class.

Basic drawing good for beginners. Being a non-drawer, this was simple enough for me to understand the basic elements of drawing. Even my kids enjoyed this book.

A professional painter reccomended this book to us as a basis for learning to draw/paint/etc.
