An interactive guide to line drawing designed to both inspire and teach artists how to approach this simple, yet dynamic, art form.
Line drawing utilises both fine and bold lines to create sophisticated artwork that can stand alone or be incorporated into patterns, logos, stationery, branding, journals, scrapbooks, and more. Art Starts with a Line is approachable for artists of any skill level, with no prior drawing experience needed! This form of art requires minimal tools, making it both affordable and portable.
Following a brief introduction to tools and materials, as well as some easy exercises and techniques for warming up to basic drawing tools, you will explore a variety of subject matter. You'll draw plants and flowers, architecture and cityscapes, animals, and everything in between. These projects aren't restricted to black and white either! You'll find techniques for adding colour with coloured pencil, marker, pen, even digitally.
Art Starts with a Line presents everything you'll need to know to learn how to successfully create line drawings of all types. Whether your goal is to create a custom logo for a client, or to simply decorate your planner, itβs all here.
