Chapman's - The American Drawing Book

[page image]

This book, made available, online, through the University of Wisconsin's Digital Collection, is devoted to learning to draw. Now we have located three books online which are devoted to drawing. This one was first published in 1873 and the author Chapman's belief is that practice will make your drawings great. He starts you off with a bunch of exercises which at the end enable you to draw confident lines and from there he takes you further into drawing the head and figure.
