Master the Art of Drawing: A Comprehensive Course for Beginners
Excerpt from the back of the book:
If you've ever looked longingly at a drawing and wished that you could produce something similar, then this book is for you. Master the Art of Drawing guides the artistic novice from those first tentative pencil marks to completing minor sketch book masterpieces. Anyone with time and determination can learn to draw, and this practical book not only teaches students the fundamentals of drawing, but also shows them how to open their eyes and observe the world with an artist's eye.
Using proven methods and with stunning illustrations, Master the Art of Drawing covers basic techniques such as making marks, shading and the essential rules of art, and then shows the reader how to apply these simple methods to any drawing. With clear guidance on how to break down the most complex object or scene into basic component shapes, Master the Art of Drawing provides clear written and visual instructions to help the reader improve their artistic technique.
This book not only demonstrates the time-honoured methods for tackling subjects from still life to landscape and figure drawing, but also shows how to apply them to the modern world. Today's artists do not have to confine themselves to drawing bottles and flowers if they don't want to - why not draw your favourite car, your toddlers' toys or a study of someone surfing the net as well?
With straightforward instructions, and beautiful illustrations, Master the Art of Drawing inspires the reader to use their creativity and imagination to produce wonderful drawings.
