Part II
Developing the Basic Skills
In this part . . .
Have you ever found yourself in front of an amazing drawing, scratching your head and wondering, “How did the artist do that?” Well, you’re about to find out!
This part introduces you to the basic skills and techniques you need to know to start drawing. It shows you how to put lines and shapes on paper and then how to add to them with volume, shading, texture, and perspective. Armed with these skills, you’ll be drawing with the best of them in no time. After all, the difference between being an artist and not being an artist isn’t talent; it’s desire and work. You get the chance to practice both as you move through the chapters in this part.
If you’ve been drawing for a while and are looking to improve your skills, Part II is the right place for you, too. No matter how long you’ve been drawing, the refresher course we offer here will add new life to your drawing practice.
