The Learn to Draw series provides young and beginning artists with practical instruction in a warm, friendly voice.

A positive, no-nonsense approach to the teaching of drawing, stressing attention to basic forms (box, cylinder and sphere) before attempting a complete picture. The format is focused and uncluttered; the instruction proceeds logically and without haste, touching briefly, but quite clearly, on the concepts of form, perspective, and depth…all [young artists] who are serious about learning to draw will be [well] served by this encouraging and effectively structured introduction.

The series includes books that appeal to a wide variety of interests, taking artists step-by-step from initial concept to finished art, teaching them the basic skills they need along the way.
