Summary: terrific book!
Review: As a perennial art student and a teacher, I found this book to contain a wealth of information, ideas, thought provoking and cliche-busting exercises, and stimulating text. There are also COPIOUS illustrations of drawings in various styles and media. Recommended to anyone who is interested in drawing, and especially to those who want to try some new approaches.

Summary: Inspiring
Review: This is a great book for aspiring art students. If you just want to get inspired, loosen up, try some new idea, this book can help you through the process.

The exercises are interesting and stimulating. The examples/illustrations/drawings are really helpful and get the message through. It covers blind contour, line, value, space, composition, drawing from memory etc.

Keep in mind that it is not 'how to' book, rather it helps you in the thought process and to overcome the stumbling block when you really want to put something on the paper but don't know where to begin.

The text itself is insightful.

I have one really old book on drawing by the same author which is worth buying. Too bad I can't recall its title right now.
