Book Description

February 15, 2003 Draw and Sketch
Lucy Watson provides beginning artists with the fundamentals they need to render realistic, skillful drawings of people. She begins with an easy-to-follow overview of anatomy, then simplifies the challenging elements of perspective. Step-by- step exercises enable readers to learn as they draw, ensuring that every lesson is fun and gratifying.

Watson takes readers to the next level with clear, concise guidelines for rendering mass, volume, light and tone. They'll also find invaluable tips and techniques for working with color and developing a composition.

Finally, the book focuses on rendering accurate features, with guidelines for heads, eyes, noses, mouths, ears, hair, hands and feet.

Lucy Watson graduated from Central Saint Martin's College of Art & Design in London, England, with an undergraduate degree in Fine Art and a Masters in Advanced Printmaking. Highly experienced in all media, she makes her living as a freelance painter and illustrator. Her drawing, prints, and paintings have been exhibited at prestigious venues all over Europe. Lucy is the author of The Artist's Sketchbook. She lives in Kent, England.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Gift for someone who is into Sketching, January 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Draw and Sketch - Figures (Paperback)
I gave this as gift to my mother in law, She loves it. This is very introductory book for someone who is into sketching. Even if someone is not that artistic, the instructions are so detailed, that anyone can sketch.Before buying this book, I brought several sketching books from Library,but just liked this one.The author nailed it.

Great book.

I love Lucy Watson, ever since I bought The Artist's Sketchbook- her sketching is lively and I have learned to sketch easily and without worrying about having it "finished" Don't know what I would do without her books!!
