Watson-Guptill - How to Draw What You See

How to Draw What You See

Master realistic drawing by seeing everyday objects as basic shapes

When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill s best-seller list and it has remained there ever since. I believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them realistically, wrote Rudy de Reyna in his introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna s methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape of an object cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains. Book specifications: paperback, 176 pgs., 7 in. x 10 in. Publisher: Watson-Guptill, 1996.
