Inside How to Draw, you'll start producing accomplished pieces right away, with step-by-step projects for a cute kitten, a rabbit, ducks, dogs, a horse, houses, a church, a cityscape, architectural ruins, a water mill, fields and trees, mountains and cliffs, distant snow-capped peaks, blue skies, a snow-covered landscape, a waterfall, a shoreline, a volcano and rainforest, and more. You'll learn how to draw children and adults of all skin tones standing, sitting, laughing, posing, dancing, and playing, and learn how to reproduce sepia images. Begin creating amazing portraits of babies, men, women, and children, and practice still life drawings of vegetables, flowers, a tea set, fruits, natural objects, fabric, and more.
