Different Strokes: Pencil Drawing by David Poxon
This unique drawing instruction book showcases two distinct ways to render the same subject, allowing artists to explore new techniques and discover what methods work best for them. By examining the way that two different artists interpret the same subject, aspiring pencil artists can learn how different approaches affect the final outcome of a drawing and how to identify the methods that will enable them to realize their own vision! Double demonstrations of 12 popular drawing subjects-including flowers, landscapes, portraits, still lifes, and more-are shown side by side so that artists can compare and contrast the two styles. The 128-page book also offers essential information regarding basic pencil techniques and theory, including information on drawing materials, shading, light and shadow, strokes, and texture.
