Book Title: The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study The Natural Way to Draw: A Working Plan for Art Study
Author: Kimon Nicolaides
Selection Statement:
I'm an engineer, not an artist, but trying to understand art better makes life much more enjoyable. This is a great "How to" book for drawing. It is unique in the sense that it doesn't really tell one how to draw step by step. Instead, it points a path for anyone to find his or her own way of drawing and to nurture a sense for it. Kimon Nicolaides wrote the book for students with such a warm heart. He teaches not only how to draw what you see by your eyes but also what you feel through your eyes.
