Start With a Teapot: An Unexpected Guide to the Art of Drawing

Drawing is not very different from riding a bicycle, whistling or cooking a tortilla:
learning all these things only requires a little practice and a sense of humour.
For example, to draw an elephant, you start with a teapot. Next add eyes and tusks, finish with a tail and four legs… ta-daa, you’ve got your elephant! And how do you draw a horse? First, draw an elephant.
Start with a Teapot: An Unexpected Guide to the Art of Drawing is utmost nonsense and unarguable logic.

How do you draw a snail, a stapler, a butterfly, a eukaryotic cell?
How do you draw poop? Enric Lax inspires his readers to observe, transform, tell stories and make mistakes—that’s how to draw.

• Wholly original, fresh and free!
• Combines parody, story and instruction manual
• Drawing is not about rules but about play and allowing ourselves to make mistakes
• Child-friendly view of nonsense and logic—in the spirit of Norman Juster
  (The Phantom Tollbooth) and Douglas Adams (The Hitchhiker’s Guide)
