Step-by-step instructions for sketching animals, faces and figures in action, flowers, landscapes, and other subjects.
The third title in a bestselling series, Basic Drawing Made Amazingly Easy is a complete drawing book for the beginning artist. Based on a series of lessons that begin with the five basic shapes (circle, oval, square, cylinder, and rectangle) combined with the five basic components of drawing (line, mass, perspective, light, and shading), the book progresses from the simplest forms to more complex inanimate objects and organic animate subjects.
Perspective is easy; yet, surprisingly few artists know the simple rules that make it so. Remedy that situation with this simple, step-by-step book, the first devoted entirely to the topic. 256 illustrations.
Once a classic drawing instruction manual that was used to teach countless children and young adults how to draw, Drawing Made Easy by E. G. Lutz is now back in print after many years absence. Hallmarks of his approach are simplifying complex shapes as well as working from big to small. These concepts, outlined in Drawing Made Easy, are simple enough for children to understand and yet the same principles are evident in many Old Master drawings. Also contained within this reprinted volume are selections from Lutz's earlier book, Practical Drawing.
With step-by-step projects and examples that guide the reader as well as illustrate what not to do, this book demonstrates how to create pleasing compositions--one of the most important aspects of drawing. Readers will also pick up plenty of information on applying the rules of perspective, which will help them create realistic drawings as well as balanced compositions.
