Drawing books are over 400 years old!

The first ever drawing book was published in 1608 by Italian painter and printmaker Odoardo Fialetti.
 
For the first time, anyone could learn how to draw at home.
 
I wonder who is accredited with the first ever online drawing class? Yes, I Googled, but couldn’t find who has that credit.
 
For some awesome drawings from 1600s and forward, plus more about the story of drawing books and where the exhibit is being held, please click here:

In the meantime, you might find me drawing!
