Popular artist Leonardo Pereznieto--whose instructional YouTube
videos have earned him millions of views and a devoted fan
base--teaches beginners the fundamentals of traditional drawing. In
his first book "You Can Draw!" Leonardo Pereznieto helped artists
recreate the realistic surfaces and textures that make his own work
so popular. Now he's going back to the very beginning to teach them
the basics of drawing, covering first exercises, fundamental
techniques, light and shading, composition, and perspective, and
more. Loaded with information on materials, a glossary of essential
terminology, and hundreds of illustrations, this illuminating guide
includes such projects as a fall still life of fruit in a basket,
with instructions on shape, shadow, and detail, as well as a
cityscape, a landscape with depth of field, animals, train tracks,
jewelry, and drawing with a message. Once you've mastered these
basics, you can unleash your imagination on whatever subject you
like!
