This book begins with
learning how to observe-
to see whats really
there, not what you want
to see. Observation is a
skill thats learned and
practiced, and one of
the hallmarks of
successful artists is
that they know how to
look at a subject with
clear vision unfettered
by preconceived notions
or old habits. Using
reference photos,
diagrams, sketches and
comparative examples,
the author shows you
first how to observe an
object, and second how
to translate that
observation into an
accurate rendering using
graphite pencils,
charcoal pencils and pen
and ink. Review from The
Artist October
2010 Claudia Nice has a
characteristic realistic
drawing style, which she
has developed over time
and has taught in
workshops,
demonstrations and
seminars worldwide. She
has written over 20 art
instruction books and
this book is a thoroughly
written and
well-illustrated manual,
giving valuable advice
about approaches and
methods to help you hone
your drawing skills. The
book takes readers
through all the basics,
such as the importance of
observation,
mark-making, materials,
building up shapes,
comparing angles and
proportions,
perspective and tonal
values, and through a
number of demonstrations,
Claudia explains various
significant stumbling
areas, such as how to
draw symmetrical objects,
using grids and avoiding
or correcting mistakes.
The whole book, in a
useful ring bound format,
gives some useful and
comprehensive
suggestions, tips and
instructions to assist
anyone focusing on
improving their drawing
abilities. Susie Hodge
