About this product

Product Information

Ideal for introductory studio art courses in drawing, Drawing Essentials: A Guide to Drawing from Observation thoroughly covers the three drawing subcategories that are most important at the foundation level--basic drawing (non-subject specific), figure drawing, and perspective drawing--explaining clearly and in depth the elements that are essential to depicting form and space on a two-dimensional surface. This unique book distinguishes itself from other texts on the market by including many high-quality student works drawn from Rockman's twenty-seven years of teaching experience, as well as carefully selected works from historical masters and numerous contemporary artists for whom drawing is a primary studio practice.

Reviews
"It has long been my wish that there could be one splendid text that a foundation art program could adopt and repeatedly use for each of its courses (a 'bible, ' if you will). This one 'core text' would need to be both versatile and so clearly fundamental to a foundation art program that entire faculties could agree upon its use. Drawing Essentials seems like it may very well be the one."--Sandra Lee Starck, University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire "The inclusion of student work provides examples that are often more accessible and attainable than the work of old masters or contemporary artists alone. Drawing Essentials has an exciting array of images from students and professionals alike, providing the introductory-level student with an important resource. . . . I am not aware of any other introductory-level textbook that has such thorough, in-depth coverage of visualization techniques."--Lari Gibbons, University of North Texas "Rockman's text is excellent in the realm of hands-on, how-to drawing texts. It is written at a level that is easily comprehensible for the audience it is addressing. It is a book that does one thing exceptionally well: it teaches beginning students the fundamentals of drawing."--Karen Bondarchuk, Western Michigan University, "The inclusion of student work provides examples that are often more accessible and attainable than the work of old masters or contemporary artists alone.
