First Sentence
With tongue cocked off to one side, nose positioned just inches from a piece of scratch paper and fingers locked tightly around a yellow pencil, a five-year-old's hand moves in short, jerky motions as he labors over a drawing. Read the first page

A terrible disappointment.......,
By
This review is from: Draw! (Paperback)
As one who has attended the oldest art school in United States, I feel I should mention some wonderful books that are available. For the very best in professional technique, there is Nicolaides The Natural Way to Draw. For absolute joy, encouragement and technique in drawing, there is Dvorak's Experimental Drawing. For the spiritual aspect, love of life and technique, there is Franck's The Zen of Seeing. All three books are treasures for anyone who really yearns to learn how to draw.

Really great stuff to get you moving with visual thinking!,
By Lee Say Keng "KNOWLEDGE ADVENTURER/TECHNOLOGY... - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Draw! (Paperback)
I have always enjoyed reading - and playing around with the ideas from - Kurt Hank's books. I have all his books, which include Rapid Viz, Design Yourself, The Change Navigator, Wake Up Your Creative Genius, Up Your Productivity.
Like his other books, this book is very well-illustrated, conceptually & graphically, with the following key chapters: - Introduction: Anyone Can Draw; - Methods, Tools & Techniques; - Rapid Visualisation; - Ideation; - Notation; - Communication; It's primary focus is to help you, the reader, in re-establishing drawing in your life...as a tool to solve problems, create new ideas & assist communication. Packed with ideas, games, puzzles & exercises, it provides a step by step approach to the practical strategies of visualising, expressing & communicating your ideas - and concepts - on paper. I must say: It is really great stuff. 13 of 15 people found the following review helpful:

Not what I thought it was,
By Richard A. Weaver - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Rapid Viz: Techniques for the Rapid Visualization of Ideas (Paperback)
I was expecting a book weighted toward doodling; idea-generation; capturing thoughts on paper. I was disappointed to find it more oriented toward graphic artists or illustrators. Lots of topics like composition, perspective, etc. And the sample sketches and examples are way way more professional than I could ever hope to be. Bottom-line, I found it more oriented toward illustrators or artists than toward thinkers who want to doodle.

Excellent resource book,
By Lou Ann D. Purkins "Lou Ann" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Draw! (Paperback)
As a practicing architect, I am often invited to meet with kids to talk about the profession or what I do. This was an excellent resource to help me bridge the "generation" gap and find ways to talk about architecture and the drawing aspects of it with kids of all ages. It's one of the best books I've bought in years.
