Book excerpt: True competence in drawing is an essential skill for anyone in the graphic arts. In this important book, one of America's most distinguished art teachers guides the reader beyond mere surface fluency to a serious understanding and mastery of the basic structural principles common to all forms, human, animal and natural. The clear, straightforward text and schematic diagrams, photographs and drawings show how these forms express perfectly their growth and function. Drawing the human figure is covered in detail, with emphasis on movement, foreshortening and perspective. The structure and interrelationships of body cavity, arms and legs and head are clearly presented with photographs of male and female models and student and master drawings, which are analyzed in detail with diagrams printed in two colors. The dynamic structure of animals is visualized and related to the other subjects. The natural forms of landscape, as well as overall design and composition in nature, are related to other organic structures and illustrated with drawings by students and professionals to indicate the wide range of individual aesthetic responses evoked by the same subject. Basic elements of graphic design -- line, tone, rhythm, movement and value -- are demonstrated in a variety of materials and tools: charcoal, pencil, ink, brush, pen, twigs. A gallery of drawings by leading contemporary artists brings to life that most important goal of the serious artist: the development of an expressive, personal idiom. - Jacket flap.

He was supposed to go to Vienna and act as bouncer at an inn where the fabulous Herzwesten beer was brewed. That was clear enough. But why was he guided and guarded on the trip by creatures from the ancient legends? Why should he be attacked by ifrits and saved by mythical dwarfs? What was so important about the Herzwesten beer to the Fisher King—whoever he was? Why was Duffy plagued by visions of a sword and an arm rising from a lake? And what had a bunch of drunken, ancient Vikings to do with it all? Then there was no time for speculation as Vienna was besieged by the Turkish armies of Suleiman. Duffy found himself drawn into a war of desperation and magic. It was up to him to preserve the West until the drawing of the Dark.
