What to draw and how to draw it Pl.46
1913
Watch a simple rectangle transform into a dapper gentleman in this charming instructional plate by Edwin George Lutz. Created for his 1913 guide 'What to Draw and How to Draw It,' the image breaks down the drawing process into five easy steps, adding lines for a hat brim and shoulders before filling in the facial features. Lutz was a pioneer in art education, and his instructional books famously helped a young Walt Disney learn the basics of drawing. Here, he proves that with a little geometry and a good mustache, anyone can be an artist.
