Unlike most other how-to art books, the precise focus of this series's tuition benefits both the beginner and those with more experience. Each book takes the aspiring artist through a series of projects based on a specific medium or a favourite subject of their choice. This book focuses on all the materials used for drawing - from pencils, pen and ink, and watercolour - then looks at the techniques of drawing, layout and composition, before applying these skills to buildings, interiors, landscape, movement, and portraiture.
