This is the first exercise in a book called The Elements of Drawing, by John Ruskin. Roz Stendahl recommended it on her blog. This book was first published in 1856, and it was a ground breaking book written for the average person who wanted to learn to draw, rather than for art students.
I didn't find it an enjoyable read, so I returned it to the library. But I might borrow it again or look for it in a used book store; I can see myself wanting to try again at some point.
