Description
Comprehensive, practical and easy to follow - the ideal introduction to the art of drawing for students, amateurs, and beginners of all kinds.
A comprehensive practice-based guide to the art of drawing, this book provides a chapter-by-chapter overview of key elements of drawing, such as line, shape, tone, and value, before addressing different genres like still life and portraiture.
Written in an accessible and encouraging manner, Drawing: A Complete Guide seeks to build the learner's confidence in artistic exploration while developing practical abilities. Stephen Gardner opens the book by making the case that anyone can draw. He discusses and analyses more than 500 inspirational examples, ranging from the Renaissance to contemporary art. Step-by-step demonstrations of key techniques provide further guidance for realising successful drawings. Prompts and projects throughout the book also encourage readers to make sketching a daily routine.
Engaging, inspiring, and full of expert insights from a professional artist and teacher, Drawing: A Complete Guide is an essential guide for all students and draughtspeople wishing to enhance their skills.
