4 out of 5 stars An Oldie but a Goldie   October 28, 2008
Guptill wrote this book early in the 20th century and it carries an illustrators overtones. However it offers clear and concise instruction in the art of pencil sketching from the basics to finer points of detail. I originally bought the book from a curiosity point of view, but, found it's practical and concise instruction very much to my liking even though the illustrations were clearly early 20th century.

Beautifully presented this is a classic in the art instruction genre.
