FUN WITH A PENCIL How Everybody Can Easily Learn to Draw

In this work Andrew Loomis allows his skillful pencil to speak almost for itself. Hundreds of illustrations (from the simplest squares, circles, and boxes to complicated and professional group scenes) lead the reader almost without his knowing it into a hitherto closed field of expression. In easy sentences, the artist explains the essential new step taken in each series of pictures, keeps his readers laughing at their own first clumsiness, encourages them to new efforts, prevents them from taking themselves (or him) too seriously. But the way to learn to draw is to start drawing, and this book is to be read with paper and pencil at one's side.
