Drawing expert and sketchbook master Allison's guide is aimed at beginners-those who feel they cannot draw or are skeptical they would ever be able to learn how. The author achieves her goal by explaining techniques in thoughtful yet easy-to-grasp language over the course of ten step-by-step drawing exercises and several short articles on areas of special focus, such as inspiration and observation. The exercises, which resemble a cooking recipe format, walk readers through creating their own tonal or color drawings of still lifes, landscapes, city scenes, interiors, and even a self-portrait. Drawings use both life and photos as source material. VERDICT There is enough advice and encouragement here to get readers of beginning artistic skill level started drawing. © Copyright 2018.
