Draw and Sketch Figures

by Lucy Watson

Published 1 February 2003
Draw and Sketch is a brand new series of subject-specific handbooks aimed at the beginner or improving artist who wants clear, easy-to-follow, visual information to understand, copy, and learn from. Sixteen attention-grabbing exercises are organized in gradual progression from the simplest sketches to more complex drawings. The exercises are planned in six easy steps, each highlighting a particular aspect of learning to draw. All stages of the drawing are shown, including the most basic, so that every exercise can be started from a blank sheet of paper. All drawing media - pencil, charcoal, chalk, pastel, pen and ink, technical pen, and watercolour as a drawing medium - are included. The use of each medium is clearly demonstrated, and a media techniques directory is included for easy reference at the back of each volume.
