Synopsis:

People who cannot draw well usually think that professional sketching is a complex and difficult process. However, with this book you will see that even the most complex sketches are just a structure of very simple, yet confidently drawn segments built on each other. It shows which features make drawings look professional and how you can implement those in your own sketches.

The Exceptionally Simple Theory of Sketching - Extended Edition provides you with a very short course, which does not teach you all the details and techniques of sketching, as they are elaborately covered in our other sketching books, but will teach you in a very simple way how to make your sketches look beautiful.

About the Author: George Hlavács is a lecturer of cognitive ergonomics and industrial design at the University of Rotterdam. His educational background is in Industrial and Product Design, having obtained a Master's degree from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics. Alongside his pursuits as an educator, he is the Chief of Design and Research at Delùsh Interior Fragrances.

Paperback. Condition: New. When watching a masterful sketcher, it seems that they create elaborate sketches with ease, tracing their pencils on the page and bringing to life rich and detailed drawings. After sweating away hours trying to create a simple sketch, you may find that yours pales in comparison, looking amateurish and unprofessional. Why is it that you can't do what these 'masters' can? While many assume the difference comes down to accurate strokes and natural talent, you couldn't be further from the truth. Accuracy is not everything - confidence is. And, in this book, Hlavács helps you to build up your confidence, moving through each layer of drawing and helping you understand exactly why one drawing looks more professional than another. This book breaks down the fear around sketching, walking you through how to create intricate sketches without difficulty. No other book teaches sketching in such a natural way, allowing anyone - no matter levels of talent or their past in drawing - to learn how to make this beautiful skill an intuitive process. Hlavács demonstrates sketching as a pathway of logical steps, starting with the most basic elements and then adding further layers to the sketches as the book progresses. With a range of exercises to move through and pages filled with the psychology of why humans are drawn to certain sketches over others, this book will turn you into the master you've always admired. Instead of aiming for perfection, Hlavacs teaches you how to draw emotionally, using confidence in place of skill and understanding in place of talent. No matter who you are, The Exceptionally Simple Theory of Sketching will give you rules and demonstrations that will turn every sketch you create into a masterpiece.
