Although you may never have heard of him, E. G. Lutz is the author,
animator, and cartoonist who inspired a 19-year-old Walt Disney to start
drawing and pursue a career in animation. His books have been credited
with playing a crucial role in Disney's development as an animator.
Lutz's method of teaching illustration breaks down complex designs into
simple shapes and easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions. Although
simple enough for children to follow, this technique uses principles
that can be seen in great works of art today. With such timeless
subjects as people, animals, flowers, and charming antique trains and
cars, you can progress from fairly simple subjects to more complicated
designs. Credited with having taught generations of children and adults
how to draw, this beautifully packaged book is the perfect gift for
anyone wanting to learn the basics and start drawing.
