Mark Kistler

"Sharpen your pencils and open your sketchbook; your teacher is waiting."--Boston Globe

Emmy Award-winning and longtime PBS host Mark Kistler is back with You Can Draw It in Just 30 Minutes, the sequel to his hugely popular You Can Draw in 30 Days. Take a 30-minute creativity break and be amazed at what you accomplish! Learn to draw 25 different everyday objects--each completed in just half an hour--with step-by-step illustrations and friendly, personality-filled instructions for each lesson. Inside you'll find:

  • Fun "art hacks" Drawing shortcuts (such as tracing handy objects) make you more productive and efficient in your drawing.
  • Blueprints for quick drawings: You'll learn to find the simple shapes within complex-appearing objects.
  • Long-term techniques: The skills you gain along the day in the individual lessons can be used in more detailed, longer projects.
  • Hundreds of variations: More cartoonish? More realistic? The drawings can be modified for a new work of art every time.
In 30 minutes, you'll have a finished drawing. Pick up your pencil and begin today!
