The Essential Guide to Drawing How to Create Your Own Artwork

Description

Drawing is a wonderful life skill – it can help you to relax, to appreciate your surroundings, to create personal memories, and to share your vision with others. In this book, art teachers and lifelong draughtsman Barrington Barber will show you the ropes, from the very first steps in drawing to tackling portaits and landscapes.

Starting with simple line drawings, you will learn to add form, tone, and texture to your subjects to make them look more realistic. You will experiment with different drawing materials and subject matter to find what inspires you, progressing from still-life arrangements and interiors to outdoor scenes both rural and urban. Throughout the book, step-by-step exercises will guide your learning and examples after master artists will demonstrate the possibilities of drawing.
