So here's to picking up that pencil, and pad of paper (and eraser) more often!
I would highly recommend this to any artist no matter where they are in their journey. And you will be the one to force yourself to do it right. You will be the one who knows what it's supposed to look like. You will be the one to point out your flaws. Crilley says in the introduction to the book that its main purpose is to basically turn you into your own mentor. Love it.).īecky's tips throughout the book are extremely helpful, taking basic concepts about shapes, lines, shadows, and even empty spaces, and making it all easy to understand, and most importantly, possible to accomplish. Ultimately, the story is both very fun and real (although, sometimes it would be a little concerning if it was real, like David finding where Becky lives and his semi-stalking her for more lessons. The two characters, David, a young aspiring artist, and Becky, a middle-aged experienced artist are both very enjoyable to watch interact with each other and see how much David progresses in his ability to draw. I think I was most surprised by the story. The story, art, and tips are all expertly executed. Mark Crilley really shows off his talent for teaching, drawing, and writing in The Drawing Lesson. His books and videos have helped me in several ways, so when I heard about this book, I knew I had to read it. I heard about Mark Crilley around 2013 and instantly loved his teaching style. I have loved drawing for as long as I can remember, making little comic books and copying pictures of characters I loved as a kid (example, my bazillion drawings of Sonic the Hedgehog). Only every once in a while do you come across a book as innovative as this.
