For the first time ever, drawing instructor and graphic novelist Mark Crilley brings his easy-to-follow artistic instruction to aspiring artists in the form of a comic book, providing you with a one-of-a-kind how-to experience. 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?


"The Drawing Lesson" is witty, clever and simple.  The Drawing Lesson presents itself as a drawing book within a graphic novel.  I am always happy to see more authors dressing up non-fiction with narrative.  Because this book is serving two purposes, neither the story nor the drawing assistance goes into much depth, but overall this is a fine addition to our collection of drawing books my my 13 year old.
