I flipped through several books in the "how-to draw" section and thought this one was the most clear and accessible. Plus, Mark's enthusiasm throughout the book is pretty contagious.

It's not the one and only perfect manual. There's a couple lessons that were a bit boring, and one or two that were tough. But I bet those lessons might vary from person to person, so that's kind of neat. Long story, short: I had a lot of fun, learned a ton, and drew some sweet pictures. Now I feel like I have a nice foundation for carrying on to more and more drawing lessons.

Do yourself a favour if you decide to try these lessons out. Pick up a nice, new sketchbook and a decent pencil and eraser. For the $10 more all this will run ya it's worth it to work with nice things as you're learning.

Terrible book. even the sample drawings are not good. The idea of the book is to give you shorthand for drawing, not teach you how to draw from what you see. Which is fine, if that is what you want, but some of the shorthand is wrong, placing a shadow between two objects (he does this with spheres and continues it) for example. In most instances there is a LIGHTER area between two spheres. So his drawing look really off.

The idea of the book is to give you shorthand for drawing, not teach you how to draw from what you see. Which is fine, if that is what you want, but some of the shorthand is wrong, placing a shadow between two objects (he does this with spheres and continues it) for example. In most instances there is a LIGHTER area between two spheres. So his drawing look really off. Then he shows planets and gets the shadows all wrong for where the light source is shown. Frustrating. He teaches students to smudge far too early, which just makes their drawings look cheap, but makes the artist feel that they're getting somewhere. Smudging can work, but it takes so much more to do it well.

He starts you out by asking you to draw a house, an airplane and a donut, without a source. And, I just don't believe these are things ANYONE can truly draw well without a source, especially the airplane. Have you actually thought about what an airplane looks like in perspective? And what is involved with an airplane, other than wings and a tail? To compare drawings after his classes (which are NOT of the same thing) and say people have improved is preposterous.

But the biggest issue I have with this book is that he keeps saying other art instructors don't teach you how to draw. They simply set you up in front of a still life and expect you to understand the basics, to make the 5,000 necessary mistakes. I have been in MANY still life classes and this is not the case. Every class I've been to for beginners has had instruction in basic geometric representation. That's sort of the point. Otherwise you're just at a session, not a class. And even if you follow the book, you're still going to need to make the 5,000 mistakes. Because that's how you learn to improve. It's like he didn't understand the quote at all. ARG!

But, honestly, if you're going to learn to draw, learn to draw from life. Or learn to draw from Jack Hamm, whose books are amazing. If you want to draw spheres get an orange, use a toilet paper roll for cylinders. Look at how light really falls, because this book is not going to help. If you want proof look at the drawings of the face for the students he had. There is no understanding there of what a face is. No understanding of an underlying skeletal structure, and at the same time, no style. I love cartooning style, where basic anatomy can be ignored, but this isn't it.

I do believe everyone can learn to draw, but not with this book.

I am extremely grateful that I picked this book to begin learning how to draw and understand the fundamentals of graphic design. This book took me from a so-so sketcher to a "Damn! You are good." kinda artist.

At first, you may think all the lessons are very basic and would be tempted to skip forward. But don't be taken away by your emotions, my friend. Practice each challenge and super challenge of the chapter, every day. Don't skip any one. In the end, commitment and consistency pays off.

Now go draw.

I think drawing is a skill everyone should learn. Through art we express ourselfes with the wildest imaginations possible. And the joy of finishing a masterpiece is so rewarding, that creativity transforms into addiction. At least, that's what I experienced during these few magical days.

At least, that's what I experienced during these few magical days. Ahh yes, I said magical because I don't any know any other way to describe it. Maybe it was actual Magic that lurked behind shadows. Drawing itself doesn't have any flaws, it's the firm base of our own imagination of course, it can't possibly be flawed, but process can be a journey of trails and errors. This nature is the reason for most of children to loose the optimism of glittering artistic career. But as I said earlier, such forgein programming was something of a past for me once I landed my eyes over this book. I would highly encourage you to read this book. Drawing is something is not just enjoyable but also useful in our daily lives. This book makes it even clear and easier.

Oh boy, I just ended it a secs ago and can feel the nostalgia...

Masterpiece, Mark Kistler 😍💖

Very encouraging tone to the book. It made me want to learn to draw. The final two lessons (the face and the hand) could have used some of the same detail of the earlier chapters. But I guess eventually, I can't depend on the book to tell me how to draw everything, but I'll have to go out and practice on my own. I felt like I accomplished something by staying with it.

The book has some fun exercises that show basic tricks for drawing. However, it lacks a depth of explanations of fundamental or foundational drawing skills. It serves a purpose as an entertaining launch pad to improve drawing.

First some background, I have no experience or training (including any sort of short courses) in drawing; I picked this book for this very reason. I was looking for a book that would teach me the basics and not just give me examples to copy with no explanation or show me artists work that I couldn't possibly reproduce at my current skill level. This book was exactly what I was looking for.

Mark Kistler's easy going and confidence inducing style was encouraging throughout the book and he introduces what he calls the "Nine Fundamental Laws of Drawing" through the 30 lessons which I found very instructive. The lessons were very well structured individually and as a set slowly improved my level of confidence and skill. Definitely a book I would recommend for a beginner or someone, like myself, who thought they couldn't draw or didn't have any 'talent' for drawing.

One of the basic skill of learning to become a self-taught graphic designer is drawing. This book was mentioned in one of the blogs and I started to learn to draw from this book.

I didn't do any drawings or sketches since I left my high school, which is almost 15 years. I always got a barely pass grade for my Arts subject during high school.

I learned a lot from this book especially as a beginner in drawing. I really enjoyed going through the exercises. It makes you feel good when you can unexpectedly finish a drawing and it increases your confidence when the finished drawing looks similar with the example in the book.

I picked up this book because I wanted to learn to draw of course. I have an idea for a webcomic and I don't know any non-flaky artists. I'm digressing. So I wanted to learn how to draw but sadly, I didn't finish the book's lessons even though I was only 10 lessons away.

The book did not lie. It made drawing easy and fun and I almost did it in 30 days. I think the biggest thing the book did was trying to change the noob (me!) mindset. Drawing isn't just a gift and you can train your eye correctly

However, as I did the lessons I did get tired of doing the same basic drawings. They just started to lose their appeal to me. While I did try to spice it up, I just wasn't very good at it.

I think the biggest downside to the book is that at the end of each lesson, there's a bonus or advance lesson if you will. While I started to do it at first, they became a bit too daunting. Also, when looking at the drawings other students made, I would feel disheartened when I saw my crappy drawings. I really think those shouldn't be in the book or at the end or I should have more confidence in my drawing skills.

I plan to return to the book and finish the lessons and hopefully move on and draw some more.

This is quite nice - it got me using my sketchbook again, which was my goal.
It has 30 chapters that build on each other and introduce drawing concepts in an approachable way.

Two things I didn't like: The tone is a bit too... American? for me - the author constantly says things like "this is AWESOME and you will LOVE it and will keep drawing circles ALL THE TIME because they are so FUN!!", and I found myself skipping those lines because they have the opposite effect on me. But if you leave out the "motivational" parts, the exercises are pretty good.
And, some chapters make reference to drawing exercises that you were supposed to find on his website - but all I could find was paid content and no mention of this book.
But the rest was still pretty good and I am quite happy looking back through the pages I filled with my exercises.

I've just started working my way through this book for the second time. The book does a remarkable job of distilling what people have discovered about representing the 3-dimensional world on a 2-dimensional piece of paper into 30 well graded and structured lessons. I really can't find any faults - except that there doesn't appear to be a follow on book to take the budding artist to the next level.

I cannot recommend this book more. It is a great starting point specially if you are new to the art of drawing. Going through this book you will learn the basic tools of trade and at the end you will be surprised of how much you can learn at the end of the journey

As promising as it seemed at first sight. Really progressive. The illustrated examples by fellow students seemed a very good idea as it roused a sense of competition among the reader.

I like drawing. I've never really been all that good at it but it is something I enjoy. In the hopes of getting a little better at it I figured out that I needed to go back and learn the basics again. Then I thought about Mark Kistler and his wonderful show on PBS when I was a kid. Turns out he is still out there and still teaching people how to draw. Mr. Kistler is encouraging, energetic and enthusiastic and this is a fantastic introduction to drawing.

My kids got for Christmas some "Scratch and Sketch" books from their aunt, and the books had animal/habitat facts with a drawing on the left page & a page for scratch-drawing on the right. My 4-year-old wanted me to sketch for him and he would choose the page and tell me to draw the gorilla, spider, etc. I was surprised to LOVE doing this and thought the pictures actually turned out nicely. (I still kinda want one of those books for myself.)

Enter *You Can Draw in 30 Days* which I found on Amazon while searching for drawing books for adults. It had good reviews and seemed like a good fit for me. I liked the daily lesson--especially earlier in the book--and learned a lot. I did get bored towards the end though; you can definitely skim some of his text in favor of the step-by-step drawings with annotations, but I have been revisiting the book to check on things I know Kistler covered. I recommend it!

30 drawing lessons that build well on the previous. It had been about a decade since I had done much of any sketching so this was a good refresher. The lessons will definitely start to take more than the 20 min advertised by midway through. I did about 23 lessons in 25 days and then let the rest drag out over a number of weeks.
