TABLE OF CONTENTS
If you want to become an artist (and look the part!), you must arm yourself with the right tools. Find out exactly what you need, from pencils and erasers to sources of inspiration.
Understanding the role your mind plays in drawing—and the roadblocks it can throw your way—is the first step to becoming a successful artist.
Good drawings begin with solid technique. Learn how to make your mark, then how to blend and erase it to make your drawings look realistic.
This is just another way of saying proportion and scale. Discover how to make these correct in every drawing you do.
Drawing is all about observing. Learn how to look at the shapes that make up your subject and translate what you see into an accurate depiction.
You could merely call this the icing on the cake, but it’s so much more than that. Bring your drawings to life with detailed shading.
It’s time to face the drawing board head-on. Apply everything you’ve learned by trying your hand at several step-by-step projects.
