Start with a Teapot

Drawing is not very different from riding a bicycle, whistling, or cooking a tortilla: learning any of these things just takes a little practice and a sense of humour. For example, to draw an elephant, you start with a teapot. Next add eyes and tusks, finish with a tail and four legs… ta-da, you’ve got your elephant! This book an is unexpected guide to the art of drawing through its utmost nonsense and unarguable logic. How do you draw a snail, a stapler, a butterfly, a eukaryotic cell? How do you draw poop? Enric Lax inspires his readers to observe, transform, tell stories, and make mistakes—that’s how to draw.
