Product Description
The first book of its kind, Cast Drawing Using the Sight-Size Approach teaches the student a systematic way to meet the challenges of drawing. Traditionally taught in classical art ateliers, Sight-Size is an approach to drawing and painting from life. It is through cast drawing that the basics of Sight-Size are learned. This approach is readily adaptable to other disciplines such as portraiture, still life, interiors, landscape and figurative painting. For more information about other books in the Sight-Size Library as well as instructional DVD's and Sight-Size in general please direct your web browser to www.Sight-Size.com.

I study at the ARA (Academy of Reallist Art in Toronto) and this book is the only one I have found that comes very close to the methods taught there. It is well written and the steps are very clear. Excellent book for those who do not have access to an academy or atelier and would like to try the sight-size method.
 Picture quality prevents this book from being a five. October 24, 2008

I just got this book today, and from what I've read so far, it looks very good. The only gripe I have thus far is with the image quality. They really should have invested more money and time into the books production. The cover and back cover were great, but I was let down when I opened the book. Th images all look like copies of photo copies. Very dissapointing. Other than this hiccup, the rest of the book appears solid in its teaching. I definitely recommnend this book to young and experienced artists alike.

This is a great step by step approach to life size cast drawing. Short of signing up for an atelier to learn the process, this is the easiest and most detailed book I have read on the subject.
well worth reading. one of the best books written on sight size. August 3, 2008

I bought this book after reading the positive reviews at amazon. br /This book gives a closer look at classical drawing technique which is perfect for portrait drawing done in a studio. br /Almost from a beginning a reader is thought the sight-size technique by example. br /There are clear explanations about setting up a workspace, measuring, shading and finishing work. Additionaly a reader is given some references about the sight-size drawing and painting. br /The author promise this book to be a start of a whole course of sight-size aproach. That's why a student-reader begining his journey with this book starts with basic practice of cast drawing. br /What I like the most in this book is that it comes with a subject right away without any unnecessary content. br /The author is a painter and teacher and as a teacher he knows that book is sometimes not enough. That's why there is a dvd that accompanies the book and shows the author explaining the technique while drawing a cast. br /The only disadvatage of sight-size aproach is that you have to have some extra space to set up your workspace that's why I recomend this book to everyone interested in classical drawing and painting done in art studio and to everyone interested in drawing techniques in general. br /However, I don't recomend it to comic and concept artists, unless they are interested in broadening their drowing skills in general.
