Many of us like to doodle, but drawing is both more gratifying and more challenging. This guide first discusses how to create a drawing workspace—in particular, ensuring proper lighting and storage—then compares all of the most popular drawing media: graphite, ink, charcoal, conte crayons, colored pencils, and pastel. With examples featured throughout, the book provides tips, techniques, and clear instructions, while the projects will help you improve at depicting human figures, animals, still life, and landscapes.
