This manual explains the theory and techniques for drawing successfully. It features over 40 chapters and topics, covering all the major genres of drawing and painting - from creating urban and rural landscapes and still-life to drawing nudes and portraits. There are hands-on lessons and 800 illustrations to help aspiring artists to learn by doing. First, the volume examines how to draw basic geometric forms and gestures, then it progresses to composition, anatomy and proportion in the human figure. Practical approaches are provided for drawing light and shade effects, capturing the nuances of animals and nature, creating caricatures, and reproducing textural effects. The volume explores virtually every drawing media, including soft media such as charcoal, Conte crayon, chalk and watercolour pencils as well as hard media such as graphite pencil and reed, ballpoint and fountain pens.
