## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best drawing book ever
*by J***M on October 8, 2024*

The content is very dense but extremely practical. I’m moving through it very slowly and supplementing it with classical drawing exercises, the improvements I’m seeing with my drawing and observational accuracy have been increasing at a rate that’s rather unbelievable in a relatively short time. I love this book, but it requires very careful reading and understanding. Lovvvvveeeee it

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb, insightful, masterful theory analysis of drawing
*by L***R on October 8, 2005*

Before art instructors of the late 20th and early 21st century Betty Edwards or Mona Brookes shared their insights with us, Harold Speed wrote this profoundly analytical handbook explaining the psychological and technical foundations of drawing and observation, i.e. line drawing and mass drawing, and much, much more. Although his English is stiff, and perhaps colloquial to the locale where his style of English English was spoken (where he was raised or lived) and the 19th and 20th century periods in which he lived, it is still readable and understandable.I found his tightly dissected views of how the (young person's) mind starts to perceive objects and to draw them, and how early artists approached drawing to be very helpful.It contains clear explanations that methodically lay out the appoaches by which artists apply their talents. In doing so, he helps us to become more analytical and more understanding of art and the world around us. This work by Harold Speed helps us become better observers. It is the most penetrating book on drawing techniques I have found. This book is an excellent investment at about $10.00 on Amazon.con.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good insight into what makes a balanced work of art
*by J***E on March 23, 2025*

Discusses balance, line, movement and what makes a good composition
