Starting Drawing

by Anna Claybourne

Published 31 December 1995
Aimed at young drawing enthusiasts, this book introduces a range of technical skills including using pencils to make different kinds of marks, discovering how to shade light to dark, using chalk and charcoal on different coloured backgrounds and drawing things that are close-up or far away. Photographs, step-by-step illustrations and "example" illustrations are provided. These invite children to get actively involved in drawing for themselves.
