I love to draw and have done so most of my life and yet have known so many who say "I can't even draw a straight line". I have found this book to be a great and simple manual to teach out of. I have personally known both adults and children who found the artist within from using the Drawing Textbook. This book gave me a way to explain some concepts simply that I didn't have the words for. To be able to do, but not be able to understand HOW has been the chasm around drawing101. This book is your bridge over that chasm. It is great to teach out of, but I doubt a child would want to pick up this book on his or her own, to learn out of that isn't talented to begin with. The feel of it seems more mature than that.
For those who can draw well, this book was not made for you. It was made for beginners and those who look at drawing as something "talented" people do. It is made for teachers like me who need words to describe things they know how to do. If you fall into one of those categories, I really do not think you'll be disappointed.

I have found Drawing Textbook to be a wonderful little book to go through. It really makes you solid in being able to draw real to life basics. At 222 exercises that progressively get harder, it is quite a thorough course. Makes you confidant in drawing!

We actually have two copies because someone is always using one. We have six kids and our third is now using doing the whole program. The naturally artistic kids have enjoyed it and so have those of us (me!) who are all thumbs. We highly recommend the course. Fun, easy to follow, and instructive. This course is part of our basic curriculum.

A real gem!!
I took a class from Bruce McIntyre in 1968 or maybe 1969. I enjoyed it so much and buying this drawing book brought back memories of what I had learned then. Read more

art book
I was happy with the book on how to draw but it is for an older child. I'm sure our granddaughter will be able to do the drawing, just not the reading. We will need to help her.

great book but what's with the price?
This is a great little booklet in general but it should be priced for approximately $10 or less. What's with the crazy pricing?

A booklet- not a textbook!
At 60 pages,this is over-priced and not a course for adults. As basic instruction for those 10 and under, it is probably okay. Read more
