Feb 13Often when you start an art course or drawing course, it is assumed that you know the basics. If you need basic practice , this is the book for you. It covers mark making, drawing in different media and step by step instructions showing you how to draw different objects. * Karen Platt Yarnsandfabrics.co.uk/crafts * May 13
Unlike most drawing guides, this svelte handbook does not limit itself to black-and-white line drawings but instead devotes a good portion of its pages to color, covering colored pencil, pastel, crayon, and chalks as media. Box (Drawing Step-by-Step) discusses how to mix the colors of a limited palette to produce vibrant drawings. Materials, mark making, tone, texture, and composition are also explained. VERDICT: Teens, young adults, and beginning artists of all ages may pick up this guide for quick drawing inspiration. * Library Journal, USA *
