experimental drawing

A very helpful book for people learning t draw at any level. The vendor was great. good service. clean product.

Good source book

There are loads of examples which illustrate the wide range of drawing techniques and uses. I think it is very helpful to students of drawing - both the young and the young in heart!

Amazing book

I love the book. I am a professional artist and I want to explore more in experimental drawing. This is the book to have, it proposes lots of different exercises and challenges to improve your skills and try out new forms of expression. I would not suggest it for a beginner though.

Highly Recommended

This is one of the best books on drawing that I've come across so far. Being self-taught I don't have ready access to a teacher or other artists, hence I have to find my inspiration from books. Kaupelis provides a superb variety of drawing styles and subjects. The approach is based on learning to draw first via blind drawings etc. and then once you've got the various rules sorted it's time to break them and see what happens. For me Watson-Guptill provide an excellent range of art books as opposed to the trite North Light series. No matter what sort of artist you are, if you like to draw then this should be in your library.

terrific book!

As a perennial art student and a teacher, I found this book to contain a wealth of information, ideas, thought provoking and cliche-busting exercises, and stimulating text. There are also COPIOUS illustrations of drawings in various styles and media. Recommended to anyone who is interested in drawing, and especially to those who want to try some new approaches.
