When I talk about art, I always end up referencing Mark Crilley. This man is the best teacher I've seen, ever! He's funny, smart, patient... And we can see it in this book. The teacher in this book is like a harsher version of him without the blushies, the white gouache and Old Man Time Lapse. It's the perfect addition to his videos, letting us see some things he can't show us when he teaches how to draw. The story is cute but still interesting for adults.
It's a really good book to read, to learn, to have good time... I promise you won't regret it!

It's exactly as the subtitle says, this graphic novel will teach you how to draw. And it will hit you in the fees at the end too!

The interpersonal dynamics were weird, but the drawing instruction was great.

Ho acquistato questo libro perché seguo Mark Crilley sul suo canale Youtube e lo trovo un eccellente disegnatore e un altrettanto capace insegnante.
Questo libro è pulito, chiaro, e nel leggere la storia ci racconta tantissimi elementi fondamentali per acquisire tecniche di disegno.
Una trovata geniale. Un libro altamente consigliato.

Such a clever idea. This book is about drawing lessons and is, at the same time, drawing lessons. Brilliant!

I am not always a fan of graphic novels but this one sounded intriguing to me. I have never been good at drawing…I often draw pictures for my students to cut out at work and they are quick to point this out to me ;) I have always wished that I could draw well but had come to the conclusion that it was something you were either good at or you weren’t. After reading this book I realized that there are some important things to know to help you be a better artist.
The lessons in this book are taught in a very fun way…the reader is learning along with David, the young boy in the book who wants to learn how to draw. He meets a woman named Becky who, reluctantly at first, teaches him some important things about being a good artist.
The story is very informative but also very touching and humorous. The artwork is gorgeous, presented in sepia tones.
Overall, this is a great book for all ages…my 10 year old daughter and I read it together and we both enjoyed it. I definitely recommend it to anyone who would like to get past drawing stick figures (like me).
