Based on his teaching at New York's Art Students' League, Kimon Nicolaides developed a system for teaching how to draw that can be followed by anyone. His approach to drawing concentrates on mastering the key concepts: contour, gesture, weight and structure. Illustrated with examples from the Old Masters as well as student works. Focusing on gesture and action, feeling and expression this is a definitive guide for anyone who wants to learn how to make their drawing come alive. Consisting of 64 exercises that are to be studied over the course of the year, this is the guide that has been used by thousands of students already.
