In The Drawing Lesson, you’ll meet David—a young boy who wants nothing more than to learn how to draw. Luckily for David, he’s just met Becky—his helpful drawing mentor. Page by page, Becky teaches David (and you!) about the essential fundamentals that artists need in order to master drawing, all in a unique visual format. In panel after panel, Crilley provides lessons on shading, negative space, creating compositions, and more, with accompanying exercises that you can try for yourself. Are you ready to start your drawing lesson today?

Absolutely phenomenal. I found this book to be both incredibly entertaining and inspirational. Not only does it help with my skills as a beginning artist, it reminds me of the joy I find when completing a piece of art. If you're even a little hesitant about buying the book, don't be; Just buy it.

This was so amazing. Not only does it actually teach you useful fundamentals of drawing, but you also get a story at the same time, with character development and a satisfying and emotional ending. This is wonderful for beginning artists and a great gift for any level of artist as well. It reminded me of a few things that I had forgotten. You can always expect great work from Mark Crilley.
