The Little Book of Drawing

What's the key to making art? First, you must see like an artist, according to Dr. Mary McNaughton, the author of this whimsical manual that teaches readers to draw skillfully, even if they know absolutely nothing about drawing!

Readers will work at their own pace, enjoying Dr. Mary's friendly tone and skillful instruction on all aspects of drawing, including basic composition and design principles, contour drawing, value, and texture. Her humorous, compassionate approach will help readers develop their own personal style as they explore what drawing is, why they draw, and how they can find themselves in their drawings.

Exercises that encourage novice artists to draw with their other hand and turn their names into art will help apply what they've learned. Other projects include drawing the human figure, animals, landscapes, and gardens.

Dr. McNaughton has taught drawing, design, and art for over 15 years at the University of Minnesota, as well as exhibiting her work for over 25 years. She discovered her unique method of instruction while completing her Master's degree and Ph.D. in Applied Design.

Perfect for the budding artist, this little book packs a big punch!
