Realistic Drawing Techniques For Beginners

Realistic drawing is a skill all of us possess, but a skill that is neglected and underdeveloped. Take note that I use the word skill and not talent. We are all born with creative talent, but lack the training to in order to develop and grown proper skills in creativity.
It doesn't matter why you decided to learn how to draw, this book is filled with practical illustrations, demonstrations and exercises introducing you to the skills needed to create realistic graphite drawings. These skills are invaluable stepping stones to other art techniques, because it doesn't matter what art media you use (pencils, paints, pastels, charcoal, draw for graphic design) if you do not know the basic principles of close observation of proportions, values, lines and shapes, your artworks will lack realism.
The book teaches you realistic drawing skills that are the basis of all other artistic tools with illustrated examples, step by step illustrated demonstrations and easy to understand exercises.
