Product Description

Product Description

Having trouble drawing a nose that looks like a nose? In this step-by-step guide, Lee Hammond will teach you how to draw realistic-looking portraits of your favorite people—more easily than you ever thought possible.

Really!

The secret is in the blending: With pencil and paper, Lee shows you how to create gradual, smooth shadings of light and dark to replicate the subtle contours of skin…and how to use these simple shading techniques to make any shape look three-dimensional.

After you've got the basics down, you'll see how to draw every part of the face. It's made easy by looking at each feature as simple, interlocking shapes, then adding the right highlights and shadows. In no time, you'll be drawing realistic noses, mouths, eyes, ears…even facial expressions.

Then you'll see how to put all those features together to create an expressive portrait that actually looks like your subject! Step-by-step demonstrations guide you all the way.

Format:Paperback
This book is, as all Lee Hammond books I own, a great one. It greatly helps to realistically depict people. However, I would recommend getting "How to draw lifelike portraits from photographs" instead, as it has about the same content, just more advanced. The price is higher too, but in my opinion it's definitly worth it. If english isn't your first language, don't worry, Lee Hammond's book are understandable written, and yet she doesn't write to you as if you were an idiot.

Great Book - Buy it 30 Nov 2004
By Atlas
Format:Paperback
Like a lot of people I have had the ambition to draw and sketch accurately. This book shows you how. It took mw upto a standard I am very pleased with and I fully intend to buy other books from this artist to progress further. Excellent and highly recommended. Buy yourself a copy and you will be surprised how you CAN draw.
