i actually taught me how to draw

A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.

Nicolaides' The Natural Way to Draw is an absolute gem for anyone serious about improving their drawing skills. This book isn’t about quick tricks or shortcuts—it’s a deep, immersive journey into the process of truly seeing and feeling what you draw. The exercises, especially the contour and gesture drawing drills, force you to break out of rigid thinking and embrace a more intuitive, expressive approach. It’s a challenging book, but if you stick with it, your ability to capture movement and form will transform. Highly recommended for dedicated students of art!

I have read The Natural Way to Draw; it was a solid read for beginners as well as professionals that wise to review and use instructions of how to perfect various drawing techniques and skills. It is mostly black and white illustrations with straightforward explanations and procedures; the textbook is frequently used by many colleges and universities teaching drawing courses such as Beginning Drawing to Advance Life Drawing.

There are a dizzying number of methods for drawing practice in this book, which make the author seem awsome and his book very influencial.

However, I wonder whether so many methods are really so "natural", and moreover, whether they are really necessary to learn drawing. Some students may want to perfect in, say, proportion, form modeling, or edge, etc., each of which usually takes a long time; by busily shifting from methods to methods, however, they may not have enough time and concentration for such perfection.

A well written book. Enjoyed reading it.

The written parts of this books are long-winded and only marginally useful. The example images are poorly reproduced and fail to illuminate the textual content. This book's biggest selling point is the pedantic "working plans", which basically consist of "Monday: do gestures for eight hours; Tuesday: do gestures for eight hours; Wednesday: draw cubes for eight hours..." (you get the idea.)

One can achieve the same effect (or better) and save some money by just committing solidly to drawing for a certain number of hours each day/week, and picking up one of the more useful books or videos (anything Vilppu is full of awesome; Betty Edwards is OK too.)

The best book on this Earth that explains how to draw.

This story is excellent.

This is the best book on drawing that I own or have read. It teaches one to see. The blind contour drawing method was surprisingly helpful. If you check out one drawing book this year, this should be the one.

The instruction is beautifully written and the student drawings included are helpful and inspiring. People complain about the time suggestions ranging from 2 minutes to 8 hours. But really, do you think you are going to be the best you can be without spending the time?

It's an unconventional and thought-provoking exploration of narrative, identity, and interpretation. If you seek a reading experience that will push the boundaries of your literary expectations, this book is a journey worth embarking upon.
