More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Based on the author's own workshops, this title helps new artists create competent, eloquent drawings. A series of progressive lessons demonstrates such essential skills as recording edges, creating dimensions, adding accuracy, developing value, compositional balancing elements, and drawing the human face, both frontal and profile views. Step by step readers learn how to create a reasonable likeness of an object and give it spatial depth using simple black-and-white mediums such as pens, pencils, charcoal and graphite wash. Examples and tips for success from beginning students who have worked on the same material confirm readers' successes and allow them to consider the advice and impressions of others at the same level.

I really enjoyed this book. After many years of not drawing at all it was so helpful. All the exercises build step by step. You'll soon be very satisfied with your achievements. Highly recommended

The title of the book says it all. I haven't put pencil to paper to draw in over 50 years and I was absolutely amazed at my first attempts - I didn't think I had it in me!

Very disappointing
This book must be aimed at those whom have no confidence in their own abilities...by the time they finish the book they will be full of confidence, but only marginally increased... Read more

Drawing for the Absolute and Utter Beginner
A nice book and with some diagrams but far too wordy. Something with much simpler explanations would have suited me better, as a complete novice.
