Not for beginners I'm sure this book is all that many reviewers have shared but for me,being a complete beginner, its way over my head and abilities. I need to work at an entry level and continue before I can appreciate and grasp all this author offers. I have found, The New Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain to give me this. also picked up Keys to Drawing & Secrets to Drawing REalistic Faces. Each of these selections are better suited to the level I'm at and didn't overwhelm me to take this artform on.
A must have This book is essential for everyone who wants to learn how to draw and the theory behind it. A classic.
Nicolaides captured essential steps in the way of learning to Draw. Although I have been life drawing for more than 30 years, I feel that the Gesture exercises of Nicolaides book have brought more expontainety and vitality to my work.
THE HUMAN BODY THIS BOOK SO CONFUSED ME, I MEAN IT IS A REALLY GOOD BOOK... IT JUST CONFUSED MY WAY OF DRAWING.
This book is not for the person with limited time This book is really cool. The author has an interesting approach to learning to draw. Be prepared to spend a lot of time doing excercises that seem pointless. but in fact actually help you to become familiar with the human form.
