I'm looking for an art book that goes heavily into spatial reasoning and construction, similar to whats being taught here.
A lot of the popular ones seems to be about observational drawing only, and the books that do go into construction tend to be very advanced.
Scott Robertson's "How to Draw"
Thank you!
Dynamic Bible by Peter Han is a very practical book;
It handles spatial reasoning adequately without being too technical.
In fact, I believe part of the Drawabox curriculum is based on teachings from the author of that one.
Successful Drawing by Andrew Loomis is also (somewhat) simple to understand and apply.
On the other hand, Scott Robertson's How to Draw is often complicated to understand, especially if you don't have much experience in the field of spatial reasoning.
Thank you! I’ll go check them out.
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
