How to Draw What You See

The 35th anniversary edition of the classic how-to book that has helped millions of artists learn to draw.

When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill€s best-seller list€"and it has remained there ever since. €œI believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them€"realistically,€ wrote Rudy de Reyna in his introduction.

Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna€s methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape of an object€"cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere€"and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.
