Ideal for introductory studio art courses in drawing, Drawing Essentials: A Guide to Drawing from Observation thoroughly covers the three drawing subcategories that are most important at the foundation level--basic drawing (non-subject specific), figure drawing, and perspective drawing--explaining clearly and in depth the elements that are essential to depicting form and space on a two-dimensional surface. This unique book distinguishes itself from other texts on the market by including many high-quality student works drawn from Rockman's twenty-seven years of teaching experience, as well as carefully selected works from historical masters and numerous contemporary artists for whom drawing is a primary studio practice.

This book is NOT for persons who want to learn how to draw. It is a technical textbook with pages of long descriptions of various techniques, but nothing that could be construed as 'step by step' instruction.
The book has lots of photographs of the author's student's work, but they are placed as finished examples of what the author is discussing in the text. There are a lot of photos that are repeated, being shown in one or more places as black and white, and then later as a full color image.
