    About this ebook

    If you can hold a pencil, you can learn to draw—start today with the lessons, illustrations, and exercises in this “long-popular guide” (Library Journal).
     
    In this book, Bert Dodson shares his complete drawing system, explaining fifty-five keys that you can use to render any subject with confidence, even if you’re a beginner. These keys, along with dozens of practice exercises, will help you draw like an artist in no time. You’ll learn how to:
     
    Restore, focus, map, and intensify
    Free your hand action, then learn to control it
    Convey the illusions of light, depth, and texture
    Stimulate your imagination through creative play
