On Drawing

by Roger Winter

The new edition of this classic work draws on the author's years of classroom instruction as well as professional work, culminating in a thoroughly revised introduction to drawing, emphasizes the visual ideas of drawing and covers such seminal topics as subjects, letter design, and geometry, and he introduces newer areas of study such as drawing for picture books, graphic novels, and the emergence of a global art, brought on by the effect of the Internet. This book shows a special interest - without taking sides - in the intellectualizing of art brought about by university art departments and technology, and the effect this has had on traditional skill-based approaches to art. A brief glossary is included, as well as a helpful appendix that offers a series of exercises on core topics for student use.
