You Can Draw It in Just 30 Minutes Book GIVEAWAY!
Mark Kistler’s New Book!
We’ve all grown up watching and learning to draw from Mark Kistler! When I was young I couldn’t wait for his program The Secret City to come on PBS so I could learn to draw! Later he had Mark Kistler’s Imagination Station on PBS as well.
In Mark Kistler’s NEW book You Can Draw It in Just 30 Minutes: See It and Sketch It in a Half-Hour or Less he lays out his “blueprint” system which excellent method for learning how to draw! The systems involves looking at objects as geometric shapes, having time limits on drawing segments, and refining the drawing all within 30 minutes! I did my drawing of the green pepper -sketch to full shading in 30 minutes!
What I love about his drawing method is that you will learn long-term techniques-the skills you gain along the way in the individual lessons can be used in more detailed, longer projects. I intended to use this as a drawing method and a resource in my classroom.
Enter to Win-Giveaway Closed-! Congratulations Susan Schmuelling!

My favorite thing to draw when I was in 6th grade was Horses, every day all day!
Now I like to draw free form, abstract shapes, textures, free flowing. I love to see the the shapes and forms that appear, that were unplanned and just happen!
Thanks, Susi Wingenroth

Ohhhh I loved Mark Kistler as a kid! I used to watch his show every Saturday morning! To this day I still love drawing 3D objects with little eyes and creatures popping out of them just like in his show!
I love to draw people! I have my students do a gridded self-portrait. I try to give my students a lot of drawing practice – so a book like this would be helpful!
I’d just like to learn to draw – something. LOL
I love to draw zentangle designs (if I’m sitting in a faculty meeting ^_~) or start drawing an eye and see where it goes. Sometimes it’s a person, sometimes a dragon, I just let it go where it tells me it wants to go.
