What to Draw and How to Draw it Edwin George Lutz 9781521049228 Books

E.G. Lutz was a mystery to me until recently. I learned in his time Lutz was an illustrator and cartoonist for magazines and newspapers, as well as an author of various books on the arts such as filmmaking, animation, painting and drawing. This book is his very first and an earlier edition of another drawing book I have by him called "Drawing Made Easy" (1921), which I found at a used book shop a few weeks ago but is also here on Amazon.

I bought this because I love to study old illustrations while developing my own drawing style influenced by my love of art from the 1920s-60s. It's also a great collector to have in my library and I wanted this earlier edition for more items to learn to draw. Plus it's also inspiring for those who want to become illustrators or any creative career (and hobby) that requires drawing skills. Lutz's tutorials provide a sort of starting ground and offer techniques to try out and maybe adapt into your own developing style.

What I love about Lutz's approach is how it's directly step by step, there's no text to read. You just draw the lines as you see them progress. (But most people who draw will tell you that drawing what you see is harder than one may think.) In this 1913 edition, there's some toys and a few structures such as a tent and chateau to draw. As well as people's heads in profile/frontal views and human figures that are more fun/amusing than "from life" because they focus on different line quality. However a majority of this book features a variety of animals and insects. What's great is that there are different POVs/angles to draw them from. Lutz does write some instruction towards the back of the book explaining how to make ellipses and ovals with a compass (interesting to read because in my drawing classes in college I learned to make those free hand) as well as suggestions for a watercolor palette in terms of specific shades..many of which are made today like yellow ochre. Another thing I love about this book is due to the variety of subjects and views, some are more "beginner friendly" while others use techniques built upon from previous demos. Overall this is a book that you can grow with as your drawing skills mature.

I took off one star because there aren't plants (besides cattails) or transportation (besides a hot air balloon) to draw. The 1921 update, "Drawing Made Easy" does feature what are now antique cars/trains and has a variety of flowers and leaves with an instruction on realistic profiles. While I enjoy "What to Draw and How to Draw It" for having more subjects to learn to draw, sometimes it's limiting if I'm not in the mood to draw animals so I'm slightly more partial to the updated book where Lutz added more variety of subjects. However, this is a book I'm excited to have and still love!

Really cool step by step drawing guide. A lot of fun to see how people were learning how to draw (before zentangle).
this review is for the hardcover version . It's a fun and classic how-to-draw book. Not comprehensive at all, but a nice addition to one's collection
Very "old-school" in appearance, but the technique is as apropos today as when this little tome was written. Nostalgic, yet timeless. Love the "property of the city of New York" stamp on the Intro page.

For those with a Fire HD7 who have trouble viewing small illustrations, simply "long-press" screen and tap "zoom" to enlarge.

This is a great book for the novice artist learning the techniques of drawing. Instructions are simple therefore easy to understand. Once the techniques are learned and how one draws from their own perspective, then the drawings can be enlarged upon and incorporated into other or more pictures. I highly recommend this to someone getting started drawing.
My grandma (84 yrs old) and her brother used this book when they were kids to draw. They used it so much that the binding fell apart. She's an amazing artist and passed her passion for art. She's given this book to many of her grand children. I'm glad we can carry on the tradition!
This book is the single most beautifully illustrated and thoroughly detailed "how-to" draw book I've seen. I homeschool and try to include these in our daily lessons just because the pictures are so vintage and precious. Would highly recommend it for any age and for any drawing level.
While I do enjoy this book, the one issue I have with it is that the drawings are overly complicated. I don't believe this would be a good book to give to a beginner for the sole fact that the end result of all the images could intimidate.

With that said, I think a more novice artist could more easily draw these figures. I do think this helps build the structural integrity to a drawing, so that would be a good thing for a beginner to learn.
