E.G. Lutz makes drawing feel refreshingly simple, offering clear, step-by-step guidance for over 100 subjects—from lighthouses and horses to dragonflies, parakeets, and lively human expressions. He also shares tips for refining line work and capturing both profile and front views (every sketch deserves its good side).

A renowned cartoonist who influenced Walt Disney, Lutz’s straightforward style shines in this facsimile of his first book. What to Draw and How to Draw It is a charming, confidence-boosting gift for the budding artist—while also helping you brush up on your own artistic skills—and proof that great art can start with just a few easy lines. Find it at the Museum of the City of New York.
