Summary: On Drawing is fantastic!
Review: I felt that this latest book by Roger Winter was a fabulous effort, and that it is one of his better attempts of late. He put together a handy book which shows me, an amateur artist, how to draw simple everyday household items and make it into a work of art.

Thanks, for a great book and great advice.

Summary: A Little GEM of a Drawing Book!
Review: I selected this little hand book to use in my basic drawing course for a college level class. It cuts to the chase! No baloney, here, just good straight information on drawing. It is great for the students because of its intimate and user friendly size - can easily be put in the student's back pack and carried around without a lot of useless weight.

But, inside the book, it is well organized, has a ton of great illustrations which inspire people to try drawing for themselves. And, best yet, it give the "how to" of doing it.
He clearly gives comparisons with his ideas, by putting up two different kinds of art works to show an idea clearly. He gives a number of good project ideas and best of all you can begin anywhere in the book. You need not read through it from front to back. You can skip around and design your own drawing program with this book. Its a lot of book for the buck, in my opinion.
