Master Drawing Book

Master Drawing covers all the bases of a serious drawing program including shading, texture, proportion, perspective, drawing people, buildings and more. Additional topics include: using grids, rhythm and value, drawing motion, still life, animals, landscapes, cartoons and caricature. As a special treat, a section which features many field sketches of birds by renowned bird artist David Plank is also included in the animals section. Other very helpful lessons include using creativity and how to concentrate on what you are seeing as you draw - both important for the serious sketcher. Lessons are open-ended, and easy to understand, while covering all the basics such as the face being five eyes wide, and finding a vanishing point to draw accurate perspective drawings. This could be implemented with a group of budding artists, or for the older or more driven art student. All the way through, students are reminded to practice, practice, practice... or, should I say, sketch, sketch sketch to improve their mastery of the skills taught. This is a good, solid, Christian-based drawing program that will give aspiring artists a solid start to becoming the next Rembrandt.
