WHAT TO DRAW and HOW TO DRAW
This is really a remarkable book in which line is made a good reason for form. The youngest child may grasp the magic progress of this way of working and he will draw the picture naturally and well.
INSTRUCTIONS are very brief, for the key lines of each object tell their own story and the child is entranced by the results soon gained. There is no stupid tracing in this book, for tracing accomplishes at most only a little muscular control.
The book provides a step-by-step system that fixes the object in memory and develops naturally as a physical skill and a mental knowledge of proportion and form.
Foreshortening and perspective, often bugbears to young artists, are overcome by the simplest progressive examples.
REMEMBERING THE KEY LINE opens the way to the completed object. There are hundreds of pictures to draw and all those most fascinating to the child, who is thrilled by the “magic” that makes drawing easy and delightfully interesting.
“Just remember the KEY LINE, that’s all.”
