Essential Guide to Drawing : A practical and inspirational workbook

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, authors Barrington Barber and Duncan Smith inspire readers to become confident in their own abilities as artists.
