It will revolutionise how you draw. Having always loved art, I went through 3/4 of my life believing I was crap and that I couldn't draw. This will give you the confidence to realise that like anything, drawing is a skill that needs practising and (b) you shouldn't care what anyone else thinks. And most importantly, anyone can draw, given the right instruction and given confidence. I like how in part of the book, you see student examples of a hand and realise when you have a go, you are up there with them in creating a nice first ever and achievable drawing of your own hand. I really love the idea of learning to draw the outline of things and leaving the mistakes in as part of the process of capturing what you want to draw. Money well spent! I don't care if no one likes my drawings. The point is that I love them and this book gave me the confidence to accept my own work and be happy with my standard. And for the bad reviewers, maybe it's not everyone's style. I love pen and ink and sketchy watercolour paintings. I drew one of these with a stick from the garden. I like to see all my mistakes. It's about progression and learning to sketch before moving on the the bigger stuff. This book teaches you the foundations or keys to drawing. It teaches you how to develop your own style or handwriting. If you want a quick drawing program that teaches you how to copy someone else's style rather than loosening your hand up, creating your own handwriting or just giving you confidence, maybe look else where. The problem with many other books is when you realise you cannot aspire to being as good as the artist that produces them because you just haven't been taught all the skills or these book skip vital drawing skills. Additionally you have to keep practicing. These artists have been doing art for years. This book does not skip those steps! Good luck. Review: I searched the web for "how to draw, for beginners" and this book was on everybody’s top lists, so I bought it. I thought that there was going to be step by step tutorials on how to draw, but its not. I don’t even know what this book is all about. For me as a beginner, it didn’t give me anything at all. Waste of money!" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #46,808 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #35 in Arts & Photography Study & Teaching #196 in Drawing #17,515 in Textbooks & Study Guides | | Customer reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (1,179) | | Dimensions | 21.59 x 1.3 x 27.94 cm | | Edition | Reprint | | ISBN-10 | 0891343377 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0891343370 | | Item weight | 1.05 Kilograms | | Language | English | | Print length | 224 pages | | Publication date | 15 August 1990 | | Publisher | North Light Books | ## Images ![Keys to Drawing - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rGRO0OKLL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by A***R on 4 February 2020* If you could buy only one learn to draw book, buy this one!
