Almost exactly what I'm looking for
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is an excellent book for absolute beginners who are not sure if they can draw a ballon on a string but want to. It is a very easy read that encourages you to pick up paper and pencil and start drawing now. The instructions are simple to follow and include technique for drawing that I have found missing in other titles. I just wish it were longer/covered more techniques AND included "other stuff" like how to keep your sketches from smearing in your sketch book, care of pencils, composition, etc. I suppose if it covered everything it wouldn't just be a "First Steps" book.
Detail Buildup Drawing

Good instructions for detail on lots of different subjects, nature, animals, structures, people. Very well done
Good for Start ...
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is not really a drawing instruction, but it has a lot of practical tips. It's easy to follow, pictoral and it contains no wordy explanation which will confuse the readers even before they begin to draw!) The writer gave examples of 'loose drawing' in various themes, a good start for drawing from life.
A Beginner Artist's Appraisal
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book appealed to me in its straight forward manner of presenting drawing to a beginner. Johnson has a chatty way of explaining her techniques that makes the excercises fun to do. She has included a broad spectrum of subject matter including animals, buildings, people, etc. I found the book easy to follow and very helpful and would recommend it for any artist's library.
