Draw like the masters / text: Gabriel Martín ; drawings: Mireia Cifuentes, Merche Gaspar, Gabriel Martín and Teresa Seguí ; translated from the Spanish by Michael Brunelle and Beatriz Cortabarria.
Since the very first artists began creating masterpieces, students have been hoping to learn the secrets of their craft. Copying drawings by the masters was, is, and will continue to be a common practice among students of Fine Arts. Besides being an exercise of tremendous value and training, it is also an excellent way to analyze, understand, and appropriate techniques, effects, and resources from accomplished artists"--Page 4 of cover.

This book presents the traditional, tried-and-true imitative method of learning to draw aided by a few 21st-century digital tools. QR codes throughout allow readers to access high-quality, large reproductions of drawings by master artists for reference use, as well as instructional videos. Each step-by-step copy-drawing project is based on a well-chosen original by artists such as Leonardo da Vinci, Albrecht Dürer, Raphael, Peter Paul Rubens, Gustave Courbet, Vincent van Gogh, and others. A bit of art history, artist biographical information, and style analysis are included with each project.
