Drawing: A Contemporary Approach

Arrived in good condition. Not all books from amazon do. It’s an interesting textbook for my drawing course that uses a lot of artists work, even Michelangelo’s old doodles, to describe the different ways of drawing.

previous editions are better-get edition previous to this one or the one after this one. However the texts are excellent learning tools and have wonderful educatiing and terriffiic artistic prompts

I had to buy this for class. When I did, I thought "Ugh, an art textbook." Thought it was going to be another one we never opened and I wasted money on.Surprise! I actually really, really like this book. It's great for an introduction to drawing (my boyfriend doesn't know it yet, but he's going to be reading it soon so he can quit asking me drawing questions!). It also has tons of great examples when I need to be inspired for class.

Good

In my search for creative drawing I looked in the wrong places. This book has a number of techniques which sparked my creativity. There are many exercises in form, value, line, and other subjects with examples on how to use the techniques. Lots of examples. It also has pushed me to draw a lot more now that I have a new repertoire. I believe that variety is something that I needed.

This is more of an academic textbook on drawing. It is quite through and covers many basic drawing techniques and gives a variety of studio exercises. Would be best understood by someone who has a basic intro to drawing already, if they want to work on their own without an instructor. Some of the exercises are fairly complex and require various media.

I rented the e-book. The format was hard to read on a smartphone. It was missing some images due to copyright restrictions and many of images were grainy.

This was the text for my Drawing class. was required. There are some very helpful sections. but overall I don't think a spectrum of various types of art, and would not recommend it as a first choice, unless you have to get it.

Great service, a very helpful text book for fine artists recommended by UCL Slade drawing course.

Very good outline of drawing and some great ideas.This was a great purchase and is well worth the money -go for it!

Full of informations

Very academic and boring!
