Celebrated for his dramatic and beautiful Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji landscape woodblock prints, which included Under the Wave off Kanagawa and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, Hokusai also applied his phenomenal artistic skill to creating a series of drawing lessons. These lessons capture the beauty and style of his art, yet can easily be followed by beginners.

His first volume of these tutorials, originally called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing, has now been distilled into this easy-to-follow book. Now with additional step by step stages, it has never been simpler to emulate the artistic style of a great master.

Learn to draw over 60 different animals, figures and objects, including swooping cranes, cherry blossom trees, butterflies, people, birds and flowers. By breaking each subject down into simple lines and shapes, this drawing book for adults demonstrates with clear steps that even detailed drawings can be easily recreated. As you’ll soon discover, there is so much more to Hokusai than ocean waves.

About the Author

Katsushika Hokusai (1760–1849) was a Japanese ukiyo-e artist best known for his print The Great Wave off Kanagawa. Active during the Edo period, he revolutionized woodblock print art with bold compositions and dynamic perspectives. His series Thirty-Six Views of Mount Fuji secured his legacy as a master of Japanese art and a major influence on Western artists.
