review:
'The Art of Basic Drawing: Simple step-by-step techniques for drawing a variety of subjects in graphite pencil' by William F. Powell, Michael Butkus, Walter Foster and Mia Tavonatti is an art instruction book with a variety of projects to draw.
This book has 5 sections. The first section goes in to tools and materials, how to hold a pencil for art and learning to see (or unsee) for art. Then there are sections on drawing still lifes, animals, landscapes and people. There are lots of step by step instructions and lots of encouragement to take a sketchbook everywhere and draw.
This book makes drawing beautiful things attainable and has a great encouraging approach to teaching. The examples are not simple but are broken down to show the steps to get there. I found this to be a really good art instruction book
I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
