EXCELLENT CONDITION
As a drawing teacher, I highly recommend this book and found the condition terrific. Thank you much!
Exercises in drawing
I had bought this book twice! The first time, I cut out pages to practice the exercises until much of the book was gone. So I decided I wanted a whole copy to use as reference for practicing more and bought it again.
Though it seems to be from the title, this is not a good introductory drawing book. Hodgson, or Right Side of the Brain, or Nikolaides are better for the pure beginner. Think of this book as a guide to tuning the eye and mind for drawing through a series of exercises that emphasize the mental skills behind the drawing process.
All different subjects are included but not exhaustively. A wide range of exercises is provided. It would be possible but tedious to go through the book exercise by exercise. More fun to do one here and there to improve one's basic drawing skills.
For that use I very highly recommend the book.
Complete Nothing
When I opened this book and read it all the way through,I certainly didn't think it should be called Complete Drawing Course. It's very lacking in the use of how to see and examine what your drawing. It's very static. For the beginning artist who is learning to draw at home with no school art training,I would not recommend this book at all. Heck even Walter Foster books are better than this.
One of the books I love is The Drawing Handbook by Frank J Lohan who takes you from the beginning in tools and composition and goes on to drawing everthing from buildings to animals.
