Product Description
Product Description
A step-by-step visual directory of drawing techniques which provides you with everything you need to fully realise your ambitions. Detailed photographic sequences explore pencil, charcoal, pen and technical pen techniques, including shading, building up, blending, hatching, highlighting, stippling and more. Coloured pencils, chalks, pastels, and pen and ink are also covered with inspirational pictures across a full range of subject matter, including landscapes, buildings, figures, animals, flowers and still life. Techniques are discussed in detail including layering, feathering, burnishing, linear marks and pointillism. The use of paint and brushes is less obvious in a book on drawing, but there are some techniques in which the brush is used to create a line, or to infill a linear shape. These techniques are discussed as well with Gallery examples shown throughout to act as inspiration for the practising artist. Sequences on mixed media, keeping a sketchbook and digital drawing are included too, making this book an invaluable addition to any artists book shelves.

I purchased the book after wishing to extend into more detailed technique than that established during my schooling and creative expertise of cardmaking. I found it was extremely indepth and related to a number of interesting techniques and mediums in such a way that I was not at all bewildered to approach them.
I would not say that I am a budding Van Gogh however, after being inspired by the Scottish coast etc; on holiday last year, if it means I can create images with a meaning to me - if nobody else, the rest will follow surely.
Definately recommend it for somebody who hasn't picked up a pencil since school.

This is an excellent book for anyone wishing to improve their drawing skills. The author takes the reader on a journey through all the drawing techniques and material available: pencils, charcoal, inks etc. It has a good balance of images and detailed instructions. A useful book for anyone wishing to improve their drawing skills for whatever reason.

I love this book it shows step by step examples as well as other artists work with lovely photographs and clear information about all the possibilities for drawing and the wide range of different media available. It is a newly revised edition and I notice the difference when comparing it to the older versions of this series such as the Acrylics and Watercolours. I use this book for my own practice and for teaching purposes it has lots of really interesting techniques such as ink and bleach which I would like to try out. An essential drawing book for any artist's shelf.
