4.0 out of 5 stars
Not Just a Kids Book!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Markers: The Materials, Techniques, and Exercises to Teach Yourself to Draw and Paint With Markers (I Draw, I Paint Series) (Paperback)
It only gets four stars because it's not a comprehensive book, but a short little booklet (48 pages, with an index and a glossary). It's published by Barron's, who publish all those great, educational "made simple" type books on various subjects.I've been through most of the books on markers that are out there. This book is the second best I've seen, I think. The very best is "Markers Wet and Wild," also available through Amazon. (Also, see the reviews already posted for the book "Rendering with Markers," They're accurate.) Anyway, this book has a lot for its short 48 pages. It's a good basic primer, and is a good resource if you're just starting to work with markers. It is also an excellent childrens book (see grade levels above). It covers basic technique, nibs, mixing colors, types of papers good for marker drawing, how to use markers (bullet-tip, chisel point, etc), how to achieve effects (conveying motion and light, etc), then ends with exercises by drawing animals, scenery, rockets, applying markers in layers to achieve good results. This has a nice low price and is totally worth it. |
