Reviews
"Wow! Drawing Essentials covers almost every aspect of drawing thoroughly with terms that are cleverly defined and intelligently described. What I admire most is the relevance and the importance of student work within this book."--Christian Palencar, Kent State University "Rockman really breaks down the material to a basic level that anyone can understand. All of my students who are assigned this text love it and keep it, since it is such a great resource in the drawing world."--John Wagoner, Bossier Parrish Community College "Drawing Essentials is a great text. The sequence builds to introduce and develop the skills necessary to teach or learn basic drawing. The images are informative and of good quality, and the text is understandable and clear."--Barbara Gruber, Maryland Institute College of Art "The book is comprehensive, accessible yet intelligent, and rigorous. It enriches and fills in blanks that may not directly be communicated by our instructors in the studio. This academic approach to art-making can really be instructive to the attentive student."--Rachel Black, University of North Texas
