Synopsis

Drawing is a universal language, but not everybody feels capable of not even give it a go. This is a useful and entertaining book about the pleasure of this activity, showing, with some exercises, that anybody can draw by learning to see first. Based on the renowned method by Betty Edwards and intended either for beginners or those who need a refresher course, this book is an updated and personal account by the author which will make the fear of drawing disappear to anyone willing to try. This is a completely different drawing school for the gifted, the untalented, the stressed and the completely desperate and a useful and entertaining method for learning to draw by learning to see first. By looking at the world, without the interference of the feelings and what our brain assumes we are looking at, the hand will pick up the skills and abilities to produce a wide array of drawings. Humorous and enlightening, its reading will definitely spark anyone's creativity. AUTHOR: For nearly 20 years, graphic designer and illustrator David Köder (Switzerland), despite having successfully completed his design studies, did not find access to personal, coherent drawing that he had hoped for as a child. Finally, he traveled to the United States and attended several courses with Brian Bomeisler, the son of Betty Edwards. There he found the key to his own drawing talent and was able to experience how the practice suddenly made sense instead of just stress. David Köder applies his creativity in advertising for well-known companies.
