Especially recommended as an art classroom studies curriculum supplement,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Drawing Breakthrough Kit: A Shortcut to Drawing Confidently with Simple Lines (Ring-bound)
The ability to draw images on paper with pencil, pen, or brush is a skill to be learned regardless of any native artistic talent that might otherwise be present in the person of the aspiring artist. That's why this newly expanded and updated second edition of John Hasting's "The Drawing Breakthrough Kit: is so invaluable an approach for the novice artist. The 'Hasting's Method' is to recreate a special drawing of simple objects, the you check the drawing utilizing see-through paper by placing the drawing over the original image. "The Drawing Breakthrough Kit" allows for increasing the size of the work with larger drawing grids and have fewer pre-drawn lines to trace. Ultimately the student artist will be able to graduate to the 10 pair of practice sheets where there are no grid squares and no pre-drawn lines to trace. Of special note is that with each individual practice session, it's possible to compare the drawings and thereby visually the improvements which is a terrific benefit to keeping up motivation and effort. Using "The Drawing Breakthrough Kit" the student will master the building-block lines while learning how to use them to draw other types of lines. Comprised of a sturdy 44-page Single-Ring-Bound Book with Instructions, Techniques, and Removable Reusable Practice Sheets - all printed on heavy card stock, a pad with 200 Sheets of 4 and 1/2 by 6 inch Tracing Paper, 2 Black Felt-tipped Pens, and a Roll of Removable Tape, "The Drawing Breakthrough Kit" is especially recommended as an art classroom studies curriculum supplement and is particularly appropriate for individual or independent studies for anyone of any age seeking to master the art of drawing for themselves.

When author John Hastings became frustrated with the difficulties of the drawing lessons he was taking; he took matters into his own hands, and developed a revolutionary new way for people from all walks of like to learn how to draw like a professional. The outcome was THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH BOOK.
THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH BOOK is, perhaps, one of the simplest how-to guides on the market. Hastings has combined illustrations with actual photographs to depict the proper way to draw anything you happen to see - from angles to shapes, and so much more. His instructions are clear-cut, precise, and simple enough for someone in grade school to understand; however, he manages not to alienate anyone by keeping things on a level that would appeal to want-to-be artists of all ages. The fact that Hastings was not an artist himself, and managed to learn to draw only boosts the reader's confidence, inspiring them even more to achieve their goal of art. I have been the owner of THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH BOOK for quite some time now; but I feel it took the introduction of THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH KIT to make me fully appreciate its tips. The ring-bound pages of THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH KIT make it simple for the budding artist to lay the book down flat, and peruse the tips illustrated (no pun intended) within its pages; while the removable tape (something I never even knew existed) is a fantastic tool for creating straight lines, and getting the most out of your art. A perfect companion to its predecessor THE DRAWING BREAKTHROUGH BOOK! Erika Sorocco Freelance Reviewer

A Breakthrough Concept!,
This review is from: The Drawing Breakthrough Kit: A Shortcut to Drawing Confidently with Simple Lines (Ring-bound)
I am a huge fan of John Hastings' The Drawing Breakthrough Book. Mr. Hastings has figured out what no one before him could...how to make the skill of basic drawing easy to master for the non-artist. This new kit is an absolute must have for anyone who seeks to learn how to draw and lacks the skill and confidence to achieve it on their own.
Mr. Hastings has broken down the complexities of drawing into easily digestible pieces. This kit includes everything you need to perfect your technique. It's like taking a master class without having to leave the comfort of your own home! Mr. Hastings provides you with a series of increasingly difficult exercises you will master through repetition and you can check your progress by laying your work over the comparison sheets he's provided. You get the information, tools and the materials you need to get started as soon as your kit arrives. Step by step, line by line, lesson by lesson you will learn how to draw from a true master artist and teacher. You have no further excuse for not freeing your inner artist and you can thank Mr. Hastings for making it such wonderful fun. I highly recommend The Drawing Breakthrough Kit for anyone who has secretly longed to learn how to draw. You will learn and you will enjoy every moment of the journey.
