As the title implies, 'A Foundation Course in Drawing ' by Peter Stanyer and Terry Rosenberg is quite an academic book aimed at first-year university students, so while I don't really recommend this book for beginners, its a worthwhile and substantial volume, which will also interest others who wish to broaden their drawing technique.

The project-based approach used in the book means that the focus is always on hands-on drawing to put the theory into practice. Read the review to find out more.
