Drawing for Everyone: Classic and Creative Fundamentals

Anyone can draw. Author Bruce Waldman has spent the last 30 years teaching people at all levels—from those who have never attempted art before to those making a living at it—simple methods for drawing nearly anything imaginable. Adapting and simplifying techniques favored by artists since the Renaissance, he provides a clear path to artistic expression for anyone. Learn how light and shadow work, how to make objects seem close or far away, how to draw complex things by starting with simple geometric shapes, and more. Sketch animals, people, cities, simple objects in your home, complex landscapes, and even fantastical imagery. Drawing for Everyone contains plenty of step-by-step instruction, but it's much, much more than that. It's an art class in a book, a guide to discovering your own personal artistic vision even if you've never before thought you could have one. Ultimately, the tools and exercises inside will free you to powerfully express your ideas on paper.
