The definative handbook on drawing

Vernon Blake has provided an in depth analysis of all you could possibly want to know about drawing and consequently, making art. He is from the "old school" of figurative/plastic art practitioners. Once you get past his old fashioned use of english you will be amazed at the scope of his knowledge and his balanced point of view. The information and analysis he provides is just about lost to the art world these days. I studied/majored in drawing at university and he coveres the curriculum and goes further. His analysis and comparison of Asian and Western drawing traditions is facinating.
