Drawing: the complete course / Stan Smith.
If you're inspired by the world around you but are unsure of how to capture it on paper, this is the book for you. You'll discover that drawing is a skill that can be learned, just like riding a bike, writing, or cooking. The chapters are set up so that you'll build confidence as you go along, beginning with the tools and materials you'll need and ending with advanced techniques. Learn how to arrange your subject within a picture area, make a drawing look real using linear perspective, shade objects you draw so they look three-dimensional, and other fundamentals. Use what you've learned in projects that include simple still lifes, seascapes, architecture, portraiture, figure drawing, and animals. Among the techniques covered are capturing movement, altering paper surfaces, wax resists, and foreshortenening. With just a little practice, you'll be able to bring out the artist within you. 160 pages, 600 color illus., 8 3/4 x 11 3/4.
