About this title

Synopsis

If you have ever wanted to draw, this is the book for you. An ideal introduction for the complete beginner, it clearly and simply explains all the essential aspects of drawing a wide variety of subjects. Each chapter is filled with helpful tips and practical instruction on basic drawing techniques and skills, with 400 drawings, sketches, and step-by-step demonstrations illustrating how they are put into practice. Drawing for Beginners includes instruction in working with all types of media, from pencils and pens to charcoal, pastel, pen and wash, and cont.

Reviews

Using "drawing" and "sketching" synonymously, these two books complement each other nicely. Drawing for Beginners is a straightforward manual on the essentials of pencil and pens, charcoal, pastel, pen and wash, and conte. The usual animals, birds, people, landscapes, and buildings are covered. The strength of the book is its gathering of several contributing artists and the resulting broad variety of styles and techniques. Sketching presumes a certain level of skill and builds from there. Graphite and charcoal sketching are quickly superseded by the sophisticated color and movement available from oil pastel, aquarelle pencils, and watercolor wash. Both are recommended.
