Anyone who can hold a pencil can learn to draw.

In this book, Bert Dodson shares his complete drawing system—fifty-five "keys" that you can use to render any subject with confidence, even if you're a beginner.

These keys, along with dozens of practice exercises, will help you draw like an artist in no time.

You'll learn how to:

   • Restore, focus, map, and intensify
   • Free your hand action, then learn to control it
   • Convey the illusions of light, depth, and texture
   • Stimulate your imagination through "creative play"
