An easy-to-follow, yet comprehensive beginner's guide to drawing.
In The Complete Guide to Drawing for Beginners, experienced art
instructor Yoshiko Ogura explains the basics of pencil drawing
through a series of lessons that provide insights on artistic
composition, simulating highlights and shadows, depicting realistic
forms, rendering texture and creating a sense of depth in your
artwork. At the beginning of the book, she provides you with all
the information you need to get started--what materials to buy, how
to prepare your work surface, pencils and erasers--even how to sit
correctly when drawing. Once you know these, Ogura provides a
series of easy and clear step-by-step lessons showing you how to
draw simple objects while gaining an understanding of the essential
concepts of perspective, how to convey hard and soft surfaces and
textures, composition and balance. From here, you progress to more
complex shapes and objects including landscapes and portraits of
people and animals, as she explains all the additional concepts
needed to draw these realistically. This book teaches you how to
draw the following interesting subjects: Simple forms (an apple, a
milk carton, an egg, a mug) Hard & soft surfaces (fabric, a
loaf of bread, a stone, a book) Transparent objects (water
droplets, a glass) Complex objects (a piece of squash with seeds
and pulp, a sunflower) Human anatomical features (hands, faces)
Landscape elements (trees, buildings) Animals (a cat, a parakeet)
Still life (fruit, flowers) Plus, many other inspirational examples
and ideas! By the end, all your drawings will begin to look
impressively polished and realistic! As you work through the
lessons, you'll master all the skills and knowledge that seasoned
artists demonstrate in their work.
