For nearly 20 years, graphic designer and illustrator David Köder (Dubendorf near Zürich, Switzerland), despite having successfully completed his design studies, struggled to find access to the personal, coherent drawing that he had hoped for as a child. Finally, he travelled to the United States and attended several courses with Brian Bomeisler, the son of Betty Edwards. There he found the key to his own drawing talent and was able to experience how the practice suddenly made sense instead of causing stress. In his first book, David Köder gives humorous and relatable insight into his own artistic practice and shares new introductory exercises from the successful drawing courses he has been giving since 2013. "It's almost too easy to be true," you often hear him say. David Köder lives with his family near Zurich, where for 18 years he has contributed creatively in advertising for well-known companies.
