Based upon the author's own successful workshops, Drawing for the Absolute and Utter Beginner helps new artists create competent, often eloquent drawings. A series of progressive lessons demonstrates such essential skills as recording edges, creating dimension, adding accuracy, developing value, balancing compositional elements, and drawing the human face, both frontal and profile views.

A collection of possibly the funniest misuses of the English language by school children, Mr McGreevy's Absolute Howlers will have you weeping with laughter and reading snippets out aloud to your friends, your family, and possibly to complete strangers on the bus on your way home.
