What to draw and how to draw it Pl.60

1913

Before YouTube tutorials existed, Edwin George Lutz was teaching aspiring artists the magic of geometry in his 1913 book 'What to Draw and How to Draw It'. This plate, titled 'Round Figures,' breaks down the bulky fashion of the Edwardian era into simple stacked circles, transforming a snowman-like shape into a stout lady and a bowler-hatted gentleman. A young Walt Disney actually checked out this specific book from his local library in Kansas City, crediting Lutz's simple geometric methods as a foundational influence on his early animation career.
