The drawing course that sets free your creativity Aimed at anyone who would like to be able to pick up a pencil & just draw this book provides a foolproof way to pick up the skills
- & most importantly the confidence
- to sketch & experiment without the hang-ups & inhibitions that can all too often get in the way of our creativity. Just Draw It! is suitable for anyone from self-styled artistic no-hopers to aspiring artists who want to get new ideas & skills. It is organized as a series of exercises all of which will provide you with essential practice for your brain eye & hand
- from trying out rapid-fire sketches of moving objects to detailed observation of tones & contrast to capturing the mood of a scene or looking at its structure through the formal rules of perspective. The result is a deceptively powerful drawing course that does not feel like a course designed to conquer your inhibitions & develop a love of drawing & sketching that lasts a lifetime.

' It was the summer that Coltrane died. The summer Jimi Hendrix set his guitar in flames & China exploded the H-bomb. There were riots in Newark & marches against the war in Vietnam. The world was on the brink of change. It was the summer of love. & the summer of a chance encounter that would change the course of my life. It was the summer I met Robert.' Just Kids is the story of two innocents who shed sheltered lives & braved the city in search of art & freedom. In each other Robert Mapplethorpe & Patti Smith found kindred spirits & pursued their mutual dreams from Brooklyn to the Chelsea Hotel into the world. Each would eventually reach the pinnacle of artistic achievement & their vow to always care for one another survived painful trials & separations.

- part romance part elegy
- is finally about friendship in the truest sense & the artist's calling.
