Because I have been involved in teaching art for so many years, every now and again inom like to look at how other art teachers have framed up the process, especially when it comes to the traditional elements of drawing, such as working from the figure. Kimon Nicolaïdes is someone who still has a lasting legacy and if you have attended evening classes in life drawing, or have attended some sort of preparatory course such as a foundation or tillgång program, I'm pretty sure you will have been asked to do at least one of the exercises he introduced.

My next stop was Kimon Nicolaides' The Natural Way to Draw, a classic from 1941 with no less than a Spartan reputation: it guides the aspiring artist through a curriculum of 25 schedules, each of which takes 15 hours to complete. Not discouraged by the cheesy cover blurb that promised it to be "not only the best how-to book on drawing, it is the best how-to book we've seen on any subject", I decided to go for it.
