An Introduction to Drawing (The Dk Art School)

Great addition to my works

Excellent

I love DK Art books. This one is no exception. Easy instructions and lots of pictures. Time to learn a new skill.

Product is exactly as described-I am very happy with the book. Thank you.

Good book

Just like other books published by Dorling Kindersley, this one is profusely illustrated by closely-spaced drawings and photographs that almost crowd out text. It's a short book, at 72 pages, but it covers, however briefly, artists' materials used in drawing, as well as a large number of drawing techniques and subjects.Artists' materials covered include pencils & colored pencils, pens & inks, chalks & charcoal, pastels, watercolors and paper. Techniques covered include ways of working, getting started, linear drawing, tonal drawing, layout & construction, forms and modeling. And subjects covered include buildings & architecture, interiors & exteriors, landscapes, figures & drapery, life drawing & portraits, movements & gestures and drawing for painting.This is a good catalog of drawing techniques and subjects, but if you're interested in learning to make accurate, detailed, realistic drawings, it's not the one for you. Drawings by the author are quite impressionistic and underworked by comparison with those in, say, How to Draw the Human Head by Louise Gordon or Botanical Illustration in Watercolor by Eleanor B. Wunderlich or Rendering in Pen & Ink by Arthur L. Guptill.

I was introduced to this book in my art class and I knew right from the start, I must have it!Luckily I found for 0.01 £ on amazon and I instantly ordered it. It was delivered before the scheduled time and the package costs were reasonable. I love this book because it helps beginners like me to overcome the fear of ridiculing themselves and to broaden drawing goals.

Just as I expected. A very useful book.
