Drawing Directors

Randal Kleiser

For many decades, film director Randal Kleiser (Grease, The Blue Lagoon, White Fang) has been drawing sketches of other fellow directors using a technique called blind contour drawing, where you trace the lines of the subject with your eye and simultaneously draw with a pen on the paper without looking down. The difficulty was that the subjects moved or changed positions in mid-sketch and many of the attempts were thrown away. This is a collection of the ones that worked.Drawing Directors pays tribute to many of the best film directors of recent decades. The author recounts their professional career and reveals anecdotes about them and his personal opinion about their work.
