The Drawing Textbook by Bruce McIntyre This little book consists of 37 lessons (220 illustrations) in drawing using the seven laws of perspective: surface, size, surface lines, overlapping, shading, density, and foreshortening. Each of these laws is a separate and unique way to make one object or part of an object appear to be closer to you or farther from you than another. These seven laws are demonstrated and explained in this self-instructional “How to Draw” book.

DRAW TODAY I had read various advertisements about the “Draw Today” program and was skeptical. The claims seemed too good to be true. “Before” and “after” type promotional literature always makes me wonder. In my

mind, no art program could do what this one claimed to be able to do.Well, after months of hesitation, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to get “Draw Today” and give it a try. After working carefully through the levels of this program I was amazed at what I produced. — a realistic portrait ! (the one on the right of this box) It really worked! Using a grid for guidance the picture comes alive as you erase away the charcoal you have applied to the paper. Everything you need is included in the kit. The video leads you through the program step by step, giving advice as you go along.

Recommended for ages 12 and up. $54.95 Additional Student Set $32.95
