About the Book

For undergraduate courses in Drawing I, Drawing Concepts, or Creative Drawing.   This student-friendly instructional text covers all aspects of drawing from basic skills and formal elements to introductory figure drawing and the advanced concepts of contemporary drawing.   Having taught Drawing I for over a decade years, Sandy Brooke wrote this book to help students better understand the process, concepts, and techniques of drawing. Teaching students of all levels how to combine their critical thinking skills with intuition and technical knowledge to create a visual language through drawing, the text covers key drawing techniques, the function of drawing, and the concepts associated with successful drawing
