LOOK INSIDE

There are numerous simple step-by-step demonstrations as well as larger projects, and outline for tracings are provided of the more complex drawings that you can transfer straight onto your paper, if you wished to be used.

Most of the artworks in the book are created using pencil, but the author also uses ink, ballpoint pen, pastel pencil and water-soluble pencils to encourage you to experiment with other media too.

By the end of the book, you will have learnt all you need to know to take your drawing skills further and become an accomplished artist in your own right. 

The author, Carole Massey, is an accomplished artist with many years' experience of teaching and demonstrating.

Even the most hesitant of beginners will soon pick up the skills and techniques needed to start drawing
