The Book of Creative Drawing
Sourcebook of Illustration and Drawing Skills
Description:...
- With an emphasis on developing creative techniques, this book focuses on aspirational or ‘sensational’ imagery rather than the academic exercises of the traditional drawing manual. Each subject tackled is approached for impact, quirkiness or visual interest.
- The author demonstrates each point with his own accomplished artworks and with step-by-step examples for people to follow.
- Each spread covers a different topic, making it easy for readers to look up a theme, or to work through the book as a structured course.
- In the first section of the book subjects are drawn directly from life or photographs, with a focus on imaginative interpretation. It covers topics such as viewpoint, framing, exaggeration, lighting, drama, dynamism, scale, expressiveness and abstraction.
- The second section of the book covers subjects drawn from the imagination and covers illustrations for children’s books, cartooning, fantasy art, narrative illustration, surrealism and expressionism.
