About the Author

For nearly 20 years, MA from MMU (Manchester, UK) graphic designer and illustrator David Köder (Dubendorf near Zürich, Switzerland), despite having successfully completed his design studies until completing his master's degree, did not find access to personal, coherent drawing that he had hoped for as a child. Finally, he traveled to the United States and attended several courses with Brian Bomeisler, the son of Betty Edwards. There he found the key to his own drawing talent and was able to experience how the practice suddenly made sense instead of just stress. In his first book, David Köder gives a humorous and understandable insight into his own graphic development and shows newly conceived introductory exercises from the successful drawing courses he has been giving since 2013. "It's almost too easy to be true," you often hear him say. David Köder lives with his family near Zurich and lives there for 18 years his creativity in advertising for well-known companies.
