Product Description:
Drawing is a skill that you can take with you anywhere--and it lasts a lifetime! Drawing For Dummies tells you how to render anything that catches your eye, including your family and friends, nature, and cityscapes. Brenda Hoddinott, a self-taught artist, shares her decades of drawing experience through step-by-step instructions online drawing, perspective, and shading, among other techniques. She also provides scores of helpful drawings that show how you can turn your vision into reality.

- Good Introduction to Drawing TechniqueThis is a good all-around introduction to realistic drawing technique. The author demonstrates how to look at subjects with an eye for differences in value, which helps the student to shade a subject realistically. The book also covers techniques for producing a variety of textures, covering a full range of values, and judging subjects' proportions. The real strength of this book is the author's ability to explain her technique with astounding clarity. My only criticism is that she takes a purist ... Read More

- Exceptional ReadDrawing for Dummies is a great drawing guide. I am somewhere between beginner and intermediate but no where near advanced in my drawing skills. I found this book to be of great help in learning new things and sharpening skills that I already have.
It offers many exercises to improve and enhance your drawing style.
It is a simple read; the author doesn't make it all technical and boring.
I think this is a book that every aspiring artist should have on their shelves.

- very Pleased !!Drawing for Dummies was a gift for my nephew, who likes to draw comic chacters.As you might expect, they are all out of proportion and child-like.He is a teenager now and is looking for some guidance to improve his drawing. When I first received this book, I thumbed through it and read the chapter headings. I'm sure he will profit from this book. I can't wait to see what he comes up with next.

- Starts off good, but then......Well, I really wanted to learn how to draw well, so I picked this up. The first few chapters really help, but then it became was to hard for a beginning artist. Some of the stuff she wants you to draw is insane, and I just gave up on this book. If you want a good drawing book for beginners, don't look at this one.

- mixedI like this book on some levels. On other levels...erm...there are problems. I agree that there are a lot of cartoony drawings, as well as some more realistic ones where she seemed to go through a looong period of giving people strange looking round clown type noses. The effect is off putting...not charming as I think was hoped.
She also uses what I think is a lot of inappropriate hatching..making her subjects sometimes seem kind of...hairy looking.
But these are all style issues...I really can't ... Read More
