Product Description:
•A best-seller for 35 years
• A timeless classic that has taught generations of artists—and will teach generations more
When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of the publisher’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 this 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 to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.

Rating: - Good Introductory Text
Good introduction to the fundamentals of drawing.With this and supplemental help from a few other texts the student should be able to get their drawing off to a good start.In addition to this you may want some subject specific drawing texts.Jack Hamm ,famous artist's figure drawing etc...and most of all draw as much as you can!
Have fun!
Rating: - Book For A School
This book was purchased for an out of state school. It was delivered but I have no idea how good it is.
Rating: - Another Excellent Beginner Guide
This is another excellet guide that I added to my reference bookshelf when taking up drawing at a late age. It is good to read through once, then return to review specific chapters when you are working on projects. At least, this is the way I use it. I would rather not follow an approach step-by-step .. but rather get a good notion on how to get started and go from there.
But, this book helps and supports this approach greatly.

Rating:  - Learned to draw portraits
I have owned this book for 10 years. My children and I all learned the basics of drawing from this book. I was so excited when I followed the steps and was able to draw a realistic face! I would recommend this book for anyone wanting to learn drawing.

Rating: - How to Draw What You See (Practical Art Books)
I am an artist and I also teach drawing. I find this book very informative. I teach the basics in pencil drawing and this book shows wonderful demonestrations. Since the authur was an art teacher it's written for class room or individual use. The book's first printing was 1970 and is still well used from what I've read. I highly recommend this book for all art students. My students enjoy what I bring to the classroom from this book.
