How To Draw: Drawing And Sketching Objects And Environments From Your Imagination
Art Instruction Concept Art Industrial Design Perspective Drawing Technical Drawing Visual Thinking Self-Improvement
How to Draw: Drawing and Sketching Objects and Environments from Your Imagination is the 208-page paperback bible that concept-art professionals, industrial-design students, and hobbyist illustrators keep within arm’s reach. Published in 2013 by Design Studio Press, this heavily illustrated textbook distills decades of classroom and studio experience from Scott Robertson—legendary vehicle and entertainment designer—and co-author Thomas Bertling into a single, project-based course that moves logically from basic perspective setups to fully rendered, imaginative worlds. Every spread pairs concise, jargon-free instruction with step-by-step visuals, making complex subjects such as ellipses, cast shadows, and reflective surfaces feel approachable for young adults, art-school candidates, and working adults refining their visual thinking.
What sets this copy apart is its clean interior: no prior owner’s name plate, gift inscription, or margin scribbles—just crisp, unmarked pages ready for your own pencil notes. Minor cover scuffing keeps the price friendly while the binding remains tight, so the book lies flat on a scanner or easel for easy reference during long sketch sessions. Because it is not a remainder-marked or ex-library discard, you receive the same square-spined, full-color edition that circulates in university design programs, now available for a fraction of campus-store cost.
Collectors value early printings like this for the completeness of the color plates and the durable matte cover that resists studio smudges. Searchers using phrases like “how to draw perspective,” “industrial design sketching guide,” or “concept art tutorial book” consistently land on Robertson’s title because it ranks at the top of Amazon, Goodreads, and art-school syllabi worldwide. Whether you are building a professional reference shelf, gifting an aspiring artist, or upgrading from scattered YouTube clips to a systematic curriculum, this gently used copy delivers industry-standard instruction without the wait or premium price of a brand-new text.
