Text: English, German (translation)
Gollwitzer's book was originally published in Germany in 1959 and thus is in the classic, linear, literate mode of training. It hits all the points of the drawing media: the drawing surface, seeing and discovering, composition, light and shade, landscape, architecture, portraiture, and the methods of the masters. It's a full-year drawing course for beginners and deserves to be in all collections, especially at this price. Sanmiguel's offering briefly covers some of the same basics, but it emphasizes color and the digitally driven style of most modern texts: it is heavy on rapid, scattershot illustration and light on text. Nonetheless, it is a good volume but not nearly as comprehensive as Gollwitzer's title or Ian Simpson's Drawing School: The Complete Course.
