Philip Metzler has a Magic PENCIL!

Published by LLS , 3 years ago
I have several books on drawing. I will echo the other reviews, this is one of the best that I have read. He gives wonderful advice and helps you see and grow in your drawing. I strongly encourage getting this book.

Good book for a beginner.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
This is an excellent book for the beginner. It covers materials, perspective, techniques, and has excellent examples. I bought several different "learn to draw with pencil" books at the same time from different authors, because they all have different techniques. This is my favorite.

Must have book for all artist

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I love the more detailed drawings seen in this book. Alot of pencil drawing technique books look dark and smudged. Phil Metzger has used a wonderful talent to help others. I generally try to be more photorealistic in the pictures I draw in pencil or pen and ink and this book was one of the most helpful I have found. Buy it Buy it Buy it if you really enjoy drawing and want others to see what you were looking at when you drew it.

Get this one!

If your new to pencil drawing, you will learn more in the first 20 pages of this book than you will from most other books cover to cover.

It describes how to interpret nature and useful techniques at drafting what you see. I got a lot out of this book. The artwork is fabulous. This book is a great starting point for an adventure in nature and landscape.

I highly recommend this book. I first read "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" and this book is a great follow up to it for anyone who thinks they cannot draw! I could hardly draw legible stick figures and now carry a sketch book with me wherever I go. Mr. Metzger has a way of writing that seems to speak to you at whatever level you are at in drawing. His examples are excellant. Tips abound. GET THIS BOOK!
