Description
This book is aimed at people who fear they have little talent, but feel a great desire to draw. Box believes that everyone possesses the ability to draw and that this skill is merely concealed in most adults. He attempts to activate this hidden by talent by giving the artist an understanding of the mechanics of the art, and a degree of confidence.
