With chapters on still life, landscape and scenery, portraits, the figure, life drawing and animals, this is a great introduction for those who want to build some confidence in their art. It covers many of the basics such as structure, perspective, light and shade.
Booktopia Comments: A very good book if you are interested in learning how to draw. Easy to understand techniques and inspiring end results. You can get a sense that you can do that too. Perfect for children as well as adults.
Book description
If you have always wanted to try your hand at drawing , but felt it was something that only people with "natural talent" could do, here is the book you have been waiting for.
Starting from the absolute basics, Janet Cheeseman and Ashling McNamara take you through a comprehensive course, giving you all the trips you will need to master each discipline.
So that by the end of the book, you will have the confidence to produce portraits, life studies, still lives, landscapes, even figures in action and the complicated structures of animals at rest and in motion.
