Art Instruction Book - DRAWING - The Encyclopedia of DRAWING Techniques by Hazel Harrison

Over 50 techniques shown in clear, detailed step-by-step photography, covering all drawing media.

Detailed photographic sequences explore pencil, charcoal, pen and technical pen techniques, including layering, shading, building up, blending, hatching, highlighting, stippling, feathering, burnishing, linear marks, pointillism and more.

Coloured pencils, chalks, pastels, and pen and ink are also covered with inspirational pictures across a full range of subject matter, including landscapes, buildings, figures, animals, flowers and still life.

The use of paint and brushes is less obvious in a book on drawing, but some techniques are discussed as well, with Gallery example in which the brush is used to create a line, or to infill a linear shape.

Sequences on mixed media, keeping a sketchbook and digital drawing are included too, making this book an invaluable addition to any artists book shelves.
