Sketching and Rendering in Pencil

by Arthur L. Guptill, Howard Greenley (Preface)

"This first Guptill book was formed from monthly chapters in “Pencil Points” that appeared from August1920 to December 1921, and this first Guptill book was published in 1922. This was the first“How To Do It” venture in the art and architecture field. It was tremendously successful with architects who tended to carry their concepts much farther in pencil than artists who treated the pencil as a preliminary tool in the1920’s. But artists needing help in executing buildings and their details, as well as landscapes,soon flocked to this book also. It set an artistic and publishing standard, established Arthur Guptill as an author from whom more was awaited, and led to his “Step-by-Step” titles."
