Drawing Breakthrough Book: A Shortcut to Artistic Excellence

The Drawing Breakthrough Book presents a unique method that allows users to dramatically improve their drawing skills. The author developed the method out of frustration with the conventional process of learning to draw. He spent nine years simplifying the process through research, experimentation, and field-testing. The book builds on and transforms standard drawing concepts. In Part One, students learn many secrets to drawing accurately. In Part Two, they master the building-block lines (straight lines, circular lines, and elliptical lines) and learn how to draw nearly perfect squares, circles, and ellipses. In Part Three, students learn how to apply basic principles of composition and how to apply the building-block lines as tools for drawing all other types of lines. The audience will range from those who have never before tried to draw (from age 13 up) to professional artists with many years of experience. The author takes into account the needs of busy people who would like to pick up basic drawing skills. He demonstrates how small pieces of paper, such as sticky notes, (in addition to full-sized pieces of paper) can be used to practice most of the book's concepts.Hastings, John is the author of 'Drawing Breakthrough Book: A Shortcut to Artistic Excellence', published 2007 under ISBN 9780974941820 and ISBN 0974941824.
