The Complete Sketching Book provides a detailed introduction to the art of drawing. A general overview of the equipment needed is followed by simple lessons on techniques. Leading you through essentials such as composition, perspective and shading, each technique is also demonstrated by a wide range of examples. John Hamilton then shows you how to make the most of this knowledge in a series of specialist chapters, including sketching indoors, street scenes, landscapes and waterfronts. Encouraging you to gather material for your sketches from the world around you, the book instructs you how to capture your subjects on paper in a vivid and lifelike manner. This is the perfect guide for anyone trying to get to grips with drawing and wanting the satisfaction of producing accurate, inspiring and personal images.
