Freehand drawing and sketching: A training and work manual Paperback – January 1, 1984

This is simply the best guide to drawing or sketching. Starts off with the basic fundamentals, drawing straight lines, drawing circles, etc. Lots of practice exercises, understandable progression, and just overall great.I have several drawing and sketching books, and some are just demo books showing other peoples sketches, or have some small amount of information and a lot of pretty pictures. That isn't this book. This is all about getting you to improve your drawing ability, and covers all the basics you need to know.
