We’ve heard all the excuses (“I don’t have time,” “I haven’t picked up a pencil in years,” “I’m out of practice”), and we’re tired of hearing them! So put down that remote and pick up this book (and a pencil, while you’re at it)—you’ll find a slew of quick exercises (50, to be exact) that will get your artistic juices flowing. And you don’t even have to sign up for a class! Your very own “artistic fitness” instructor will show you the ins and outs of getting off the couch and exercising your artistic talent. From an apple to a penguin and even that omnipresent garden gnome, you’ll learn how to draw absolutely anything—just by following a few simple steps. So stop hiding behind those lame excuses and get your drawing skills into shape now!

Tadem, Ed. Artistic Fitness: 50 Quick Exercises To Shape Up Your Drawing Skills. Walter Foster. 2008. c.176p. illus. ISBN 978-1-60058-132-8. spiral. $14.95. ART INSTRUCTION

This small, fun, accessible book of drawing projects targets beginners or intermediate artists who need a simple review. The "artistic fitness" referred to in the title is a bit misleading, but it needn’t detract from the book’s value as an inexpensive, spiral-bound volume from which anyone interested in art can benefit. The 50 short exercises, two or four pages long, cover animals and people, fantasy creatures, food and drink, and still life; there is plenty to dip into for quick moments of drawing practice. A good buy for most public libraries.
