About this title

Synopsis

The art book for everyone! An amazing beginner learn-to-draw book

This accessible, one-of-a-kind adult drawing book is perfect for everyone: amateur sketch artists, art students, trained professionals―anyone who likes to pick up a pencil and draw. With a focus on expanding creativity, honing drawing skills, and practicing mindfulness, these lessons are fascinating, fun-to-do confidence builders that will help artists improve their artistic style. Every exercise can be performed by artists at all levels of training and ability, so this makes a great gift for adults or kids alike. All artistic exercises:

• Develop and improve hand-eye coordination
• Explore different approaches to drawing precisely what the eye sees―rapid sketches of moving objects, detailed observation of tones and shadow, exercises that teach rules of perspective, and much more
• Are effective art courses that never feel tedious or too difficult

Lessons can be completed using various media―pencil, ink, colored pencils, magic markers, or charcoal, and each page features illustrations. This guide to drawing and sketching is the ultimate course for anyone who wants to learn how to draw!
