What to draw and how to draw it Pl.66
1913
Edwin George Lutz was a master of breaking down complex images into simple shapes, as seen in this charming 1913 tutorial. Starting with a mere spiral swirl, the drawing evolves step-by-step into a stylish figure wearing a hat and bow tie. This specific plate comes from his famous book 'What to Draw and How to Draw It', which became a secret weapon for early animators. In fact, a young Walt Disney checked this very book out of his library so often that the librarian eventually just gave it to him! It’s a perfect example of how simple lines can build a whole character.
