Draw whatever you want

Madalena Matoso

(Portuguese edition)

In this book you can draw whatever you want.
For example, if the house is already there, draw the landscape, if the landscape is already there, draw the house…
Seen from the outside or the inside? Tidy or messy? Full of real things or inhabited by imaginary beings? Do you prefer to draw things in all their detail or just a quick sketch? Using various colours or just one? In pencil or felt-tips?
We’ll give you some ideas, but in this book, from now on, it’s all up to you. Draw whatever – anything and everything – you want.

What they say

Because, after all, isn’t drawing a way of turning the inside into the outside, the invisible into the visible? An extraordinary book to stimulate reading and the imagination, in which the reader can draw alone or in the company of friends and family.
Júlia Martins, Deus Me Livro, 15/03/2023

Simple, cohesive and coherent. We could call it an exercise book for drawing, but there’s a whole world separating simplicity from superficiality. It’s a manifesto with an ironic, non-prescriptive instruction manual. Which is by no means paradoxical.
