So we start with a bull, and add to it the shapes we want. For instance, the top of the head, or cranium, is nearer to a ball in shape than anything else. From these simple, known forms, we build other forms, which without some constructive plan would be too complicated to draw. It’s tough on Andy, for that guy really loves to talk, especially \"shop talk.’’ Now this plan of action is based on the use of simple forms that are already known and familiar to you, and which you can certainly draw. Since Andy cannot talk to you personally, he put me in here so we can really get together. Now, I’ve got a few interesting things to tell you. So he just calls me \"Professor Blook’’ and lets it go at that.
He thinks that name would scare you away. My right name would be Basic Form, but that’s much too high-sounding. I’m the spirit of the book, by jeeminy, big nose and all. HOWDY FOLKS! Who am I? Oh, just one of Andy’s little funny folk. If we need a straight line, we can use a ruler. Don’t start out with that old gag, “I couldn’t draw a straight line.” Neither can I, freehand.
And it can be as lopsided as the family budget, and still work out. ANDREW LOOMIS 7ĪLL THAT YOU NEED TO KNOW, TO START THIS BOOK, IS HOW TO DRAW A CIRCLE. BE- CAUSE IT’S SO MUCH FUN, AND SO EASY, IT’S A SHAME NOT TO BE ABLE TO DO IT BETTER. IT STARTED WITH THE CAVE MAN, AND STILL SURVIVES ON THE WALLS OF PUBLIC PLACES. MOST FOLKS LOVE TO DRAW EVEN WHEN THEY KNOW LITTLE ABOUT IT. THAT DOESN’T TELL YOU HOW MUCH OF A REAL “BANG” THERE IS IN IT. 5ĭEDICATED TO EVERYONE WHO LOVES A PENCIL 6 They may only be used for the purpose of practice and study.
