Part One. The Basics of Drawing� The materials, the tools, and the fundamental principles, which include form, proportions, tonal ranges, and more.
Part Two. Line and Shading in Drawing� Controlling the width and intensity of lines in your drawings, and developing techniques that suggest dimension and surface textures.
Part Three. Light and Shadow in Drawing� The ways in which light falls on your model, and various methods for rendering light and shade to produce dramatic effects.
Part Four. Perspective Drawing� Understanding geometric principles that hold your drawings together, and seeing subjects from fresh points of view to create surprising results.
