Provides instructions for making perspective drawings.

From the publisher: To Draw or Not to Draw: a decision (not just talent):

For many (most?) people, the wonderful artistic impulse of early childhood starts to die at some point - often between the ages of 8 and 14. Sometimes earlier. Sometimes later.

We have a theory: the artistic impulse starts to die when people decide they can't draw. That's it. They DECIDE they can't draw.

At some point, most people's drawings don't look "real" enough to please them (a normal reaction). For some, that's a challenge. They try harder. Others, however (perhaps teased by that older kid on the bus about "your stupid cat drawing," or frustrated by hearing "what's THAT supposed to be?" or worse, being told they're no good), simply DECIDE they can't draw. They "can't" draw. They give up.

(What if you gave up the first time you fell off a bicycle? Or a skateboard?)

In fact, when you're little, drawing is NOT about making things look real. Drawing is about exploration, discovery...using your fingers, hands, and arms to make marks on paper (or somewhere else). The marks don't have to LOOK real. The marks ARE real.

But - the big BUT - at some point you DO want your drawings to look real.

It is for you, at that point, that we publish Draw 3-D, along with the other books in this series. In it, you'll find clear, step by step instructions. Pictures of pretty cool stuff, drawn well: pictures to inspire you. And a very good chance to succeed on your first try.

Because when you CAN draw - especially if you thought you couldn't - well, find out for yourself....

{PRETITLE} Draw 3-D {POSTTITLE}

I bought three beginning drawing books for my 9 year old, and this one was his favorite (one on how to draw cartoons was a close second). The first exercise, which is to spell out your name using 3-D letters, caught his interest right away, and he's been back to the book several times on his own initiative.

By A Customer

"DRAW 3-D" by Doug DuBosque is a friendly and painless introduction to the ABCs of perspective drawing. The text has a conversational feel and is easy to understand, using short words and simple explanations aided by 2-5 very clear illustrations (and an occasional photograph) on every single page.

I went through the whole book, practice-drawing as I read, in about a week, since it's only 63 pages and I was already familiar with some of the principles discussed thanks to the most excellent "How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way" by John Buscema & Stan Lee.

I think "DRAW 3-D" is easy enough for a kid of about 9 or older to understand most of it, and all of it if he or she has an older artist handy to explain and demonstrate (or to console and encourage, because it sure is exasperating when you forget which of those 20 straight lines goes where). It will not teach you to draw a perspective view from an object plan, or to draw a perfect square in perspective, but if you are completely new to perspective drawing and want a good introduction to the subject, this is the book for you.

Try it! If you reach the point where you don't need it anymore, and haven't become sentimentally attached to it in the meantime, it will make a great gift for anyone else interested in drawing.
