Boing Boing-beloved artist Chris Locke (previously) writes, “World-famous artist and middle-school art teacher Christopher Locke has published a new drawing tutorial book, packed with lessons from his own classroom. Whether you’re a 10-year-old aspiring artist, or an octogenarian with an art degree, you’ll find exercises and activities that will help you build your skill and refine the way you see the world.”
“This isn’t one of those old dried-up ‘how to draw fifty battleships’ books. It’s a set of activities that progressively guide the reader from ‘I can’t draw’ to ‘handmade art for sale!’ Along the way, each lesson is written out by a man who spends his days keeping tweens awake and smiling.”
