Synopsis

Draw Like a Boss 1:

The Draw Like a Boss books offer a unique, step by step approach to drawing. This is a teaching course inspired by Adventure Time, Monkey Island and Zelda that excels at teaching people to draw, no matter what skill level of age group (although being over 10 years old is probably preferable).

The books take a different path towards teaching students to draw in that all the elements of learning to draw are explained with characters, items and territories to represent them. Chapters are divided into levels, each represented by a different type of door. This highly visual approach makes difficult concepts easily digestible adding a great deal of colour to the learning experience.

Draw Like a Boss 1 tells the tale of Guido who traverses the land of Drawcraft with the intent to learn all he can about draftsmanship. The reader follows Guido along and together they progresses through the various set of challenges, gathering a greater competency in Drawing.

Although Guido's journey is whimsical and silly in parts, the content is by no means dumbed-down or simple. We begin chapter one with a blank page and from there we start to develop foundational skills of drawing. From that basis we then work our way gradually to more complex subjects as found in the academic drawing curriculum.

The massive tome of Drawcraft is a super high quality art book. This is a book you can refer to over the course of your artistic life.
