How to Draw What You See

When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptillâs best-seller listâand it has remained there ever since. âI believe that you must be able to draw things as you see themârealistically,â wrote Rudy de Reyna in his introduction. Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reynaâs methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape of an objectâcube, cylinder, cone, or sphereâand use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.
