The book aims to provide art students with an understanding of the principles and practices that underpin successful drawing, emphasizing that there are no shortcuts to artistic excellence and that meaningful drawing requires intellectual engagement and individual expression. At the start of the book, Speed addresses common misconceptions about drawing and warns against seeking quick, formulaic solutions. He recounts his own learning journey, highlighting the gap between mechanical accuracy in training and true artistic expression as demonstrated in the works of the old masters. He encourages readers to cultivate an understanding of form and emotional significance in their work while avoiding the pitfalls of purely academic approaches that might stifle creativity and individuality. Speed's introduction sets the stage for a deeper exploration of drawing, aiming to stimulate students' appreciation for the artistic process and the various elements that contribute to the creation of meaningful art.
