When it was originally published in 1970, How to Draw What You See zoomed to the top of Watson-Guptill’s best-seller list—and it has remained there ever since. “I believe that you must be able to draw things as you see them—realistically,” wrote Rudy de Reyna in his introduction.
Today, generations of artists have learned to draw what they see, to truly capture the world around them, using de Reyna’s methods. How to Draw What You See shows artists how to recognize the basic shape of an object—cube, cylinder, cone, or sphere—and use that shape to draw the object, no matter how much detail it contains.

Store description
This AbeBooks storefront is the book and media arm of The Worm Store, an independent online resale operation based out of a home in Mississippi. We focus on hands-on sourcing rather than bulk inventory systems, with stock built from personal collections accumulated over time and supplemented through mixed lots and secondary-market sourcing tied to our broader resale work. Inventory is intentionally varied and changes frequently, ranging from everyday reading copies and vintage paperbacks to religious and theological works, music and arts materials, academic and technical titles, and nostalgic or out-of-print publications. Every item is physically in hand, individually inspected, and stored on site. New material appears regularly as collections are processed, so browsing often turns up unexpected finds alongside the titles you came for. As part of The Worm Store's larger mission of running a net-negative waste operation, we use salvaged or previously used packaging materials when practical, while always ensuring items are securely packed.…
