Seeing & Drawing

Learn to draw what you see with the help of a skilled artist. Using exquisite examples of his own work, the author demonstrates different drawing techniques, including broad-stroke, sharp-pointed-pencil, and detailed pen-and-ink. Develop your own skills by selecting a simple subject, such as a leaf, and rendering it using contour, modified contour, and gesture drawing. Plenty of guidance is given on every facet of drawing, including equipment and supplies; composition and choosing the right medium for a subject; creating depth, shading, correcting mistakes, and more.
