By Sasha Okun
A very special book that looks at the art of drawing through technique and skill building, accompanied by history, stories, and explanations as to why this technique and skill building is important. A lot of the principles talked about here (perspective, composition, mark-making) are taught in art school, but here they are peppered with personal anecdotes and art-historical stories that are relevant to the subject (though sometimes intentionally irrelevant!) The book is full of humor, the author's viewpoint of what art is (and what isn't art), and other philosophical musings. [Hebrew, 294 pp.]
