VBM Drawing Made Easy: A Helpful Book for Young Artists

When it was first published in 1921, Drawing Made Easy, by influential artist and early animation pioneer E.G. Lutz, gave novice illustrators clear step-by-step instructions for drawing a range of subjects, settings, and scenes. He began the book with a handy list of materials needed to start drawing and how to use them. Lutz then outlined the basic techniques of line drawing and illustration. Over one hundred years later, this easy-to-follow book with its visual depictions and written instructions shows budding new artists how to vividly render all manner of plant, animal, and human forms. Lutz also guides readers on drawing natural landscapes, useful objects, and subjects in motion. Even though it’s over a century old, it’s still the most complete go-to guide to drawing, all presented with a touch of whimsy and classic charm in this faithful reprinting of the original edition.
