The Complete Sketching Book
The Complete Sketching Book | John Hamilton
1 post
"One of the best books of its kind, and at a good price."--Library Journal From the bare essentials to complex, detail-filled pictures--that's where this complete drawing guide will take aspiring artists. These exercises go in gentle, easily-manageable steps, designed specifically to boost a beginner's confidence and minimize frustration during the learning process. Start out with only the most minimal equipment, and try basic first pencil strokes that provide a tension-free method for practicing shading. Move on to simple sketches of household items and exercises for achieving lighting effects. Practice perspective (carefully marked drawings with lines depicting the vanishing point show how), still lifes, and larger settings. Go outside to draw gardens filled with fruit and flowers, building exteriors, and eventually complete, beautiful landscapes.

Today I finaly had a day off from work and went to the library for a coffee and to get some books on sketching. I recently picked up drawing again and I have been loving it! It is also a great way to listen to audiobooks.

I also bought a writing set for my letter to my #litsypenpal @trazo 😀
