Learn to observe the world more deeply-with curiosity, empathy, and
joy-as you sketch the stories unfolding all around you.In Drawn on
the Way, Sarah Nisbett shares her techniques for creating
captivating line drawings that capture the moments and moods that
you encounter on the train, in a cafe, outdoors, anywhere: a young
woman lost in thought, a pair of hands clasped on a lap, a peppy
beagle, a pair of jeans-clad crossed legs. Sarah invites you to see
the people, animals, places, and objects you draw with
compassionate curiosity-as more than a stranger or inanimate
object, but as someone or something with a story worth knowing or
imagining. Even if you are inexperienced at drawing or don't
consider yourself an artist, you can learn how to create sketches
from start to finish employing techniques such as contour drawing,
using line work to add texture, and adding spot color-and discover
how each sketch tells a story. You'll begin to focus on important
details that reveal something about the subject you're drawing: the
graceful drape of a hand over a purse, the shy way someone tucks
their feet underneath them. As you unplug, set aside perfectionism,
and explore the world through drawing, you'll learn: How to
translate what you see into a compelling drawing How to silence
your inner critic and find joy in drawing what captures your
interest Techniques for drawing figures and creating quick
portraits How to find the emotion in objects by asking questions
How to draw scenes and backgrounds without becoming overwhelmed How
to quickly and expressively render the natural world, including
plants and animals How key details can take a sketch from plain to
captivating Ways to find the extraordinary in the everyday How to
transform mistakes into likeable elements Tips for becoming a
visual storyteller Life lessons learned from years of live drawing
We spend most of our lives on the way, rushing and running from
place to place, task to task. When we have a spare minute, we
usually reach for our phones and shut everything else out. The
techniques, projects, and ideas in Drawn on the Way are designed to
help you be more mindful about drawing, to capture the people,
places, and things you encounter each day. By doing that, you'll
connect with humanity in a deeper, more meaningful way-and discover
a lot about yourself.
