To draw well depends on three things: observation, knowing how you want to translate what you see, and the physical ability to draw what you want. Here’s a complete course in the art of drawing, from core sections on pencil and pastel to the more esoteric techniques of sfumato and gestural drawing. More than 50 drawing techniques are shown in clear, detailed, step-by-step photography, plus a comprehensive overview of digital drawing techniques, with directions for modifying digital drawings using a visual effects wheel. ENCYCLOPEDIA OF DRAWING TECHNIQUES also features an inspirational gallery of some of the world’s finest drawings, demonstrating the full range of techniques in context.

Encyclopedia of drawing techniques,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Drawing Techniques (Encyclopedia of Techniques) (Hardcover)
I am a ceramic artist and teacher of all the arts. I found the book inspirational and a great resource for both teacher and student in the classroom. Students can browse through picking, choosing , and combining techniques in order to better convey their visual message. Teachers can springboard from the ideas presented for original art projects. It is a must resource for the beginner and advanced artist!

A surprisingly uninteresting drawing book...,

This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Drawing Techniques (Encyclopedia of Techniques) (Hardcover)
As expected the book covers a very large spectrum of drawing techniques but in a relatively shallow way. I felt as if I had seen most of this material before in other books. Good only for those with little or no drawing experience who need a general overview of techniques.

Useful book to get ideas in techniques for your drawing,
By Wncs "Wncs" (Barcelona, Spain) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Encyclopedia Of Drawing Techniques (Encyclopedia of Techniques) (Hardcover)
The title of the book explains what you can expect from it: an encyclopedia of techniques. There are lots of ideas of how to give a drawing a creative feel. There are brief explanations of how to get it too, so don't expect a detailed explanation.
I think that it's more useful to get a fresh start before starting a work and in the study of the approach to the final work.
