Drawing Made Easy has taught millions of people how to draw. The book uses a sensible approach. Each drawing begins with simple, easy-to-comprehend shapes and proceeds to details last, essentially the same method used in the 19th century academies. Each drawing is presented in a series of straightforward and memorable stages. The subjects are people, animals, flowers, and charmingly antique trains and cars. The beginning student—either child or adult—progresses to fairly challenging subjects by the end.
Although you’ve probably never heard of him, cartoonist, animator and author E. G. Lutz is the reason that 19-year-old Walt Disney took an interest in pursuing animation. Lutz’s book Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made, Their Origin and Development, is credited time and again for being the book that Disney read that got him to think about starting up a business. However, little to nothing is known about E.G. (Edwin George) Lutz, though the impact of his writing and ideas is obviously tremendous.
