The Essentials of Drawing : Skills and techniques for every artist

This comprehensive guide to simple, effective drawing techniques encourages the reader to focus on expression and style to achieve artistic 'truth'. Rather than copying every element of a subject, the reader is urged to develop his or her own way of seeing subjects to produce an individual, expressive style of drawing. While offering demonstrations on matters such as proportion, perspective, light sources and mark-making, author Peter Gray inspires readers to become confident in their own abilities as artists.

• Covers traditional areas such as still life, landscape, architecture and interiors, human and animal forms and portraiture

• Clear format, which builds from basic processes to subjects requiring greater technical skill

• Full of beautiful illustrations by the author

• Suitable for beginners and more experienced artists
