Complete Drawing Course

Follow the 60 projects in this highly practical drawing course and you too can create beautiful landscapes, still lifes and portraits. All devised by leading artists such as Albany Wiseman, each project is a complete lesson in itself. Projects are divided into three easily manageable sections: First Strokes, Developing the Picture and A Few Steps Further. First Strokes enables you to get started and put the bare bones of the picture down on paper. Then, work up the texture and details in Developing the Picture. A Few Steps Further allows you to continue past a more basic finishing point if you feel confident enough to advance the project and add some individual touches of your own.

Step-by-step illustrations and descriptions make each project simple to follow and a Finished Picture gives you a clear idea of what you are aiming for. In addition, handy ‘troubleshooter’ panels show you how to quickly remedy any mistakes and there are plenty of expert hints and tips to help you along the way.

From choosing which materials you should use to mastering tone, texture and shadow, the Complete Drawing Course offers practical lessons on each aspect of this medium, allowing you to build on your skills as you work through the book.

Packed with 850 colour and black-and-white illustrations and photographs, this is a fantastic course for beginners and more experienced artist alike.
