Author Thomas C. Wang explains the fundamental principles of pencil sketching as simply as possible for the beginning student or layman, covering such topics as types of sketching, equipment, papers, techniques, line, composition, shading, landforms, vegetation, water and sky, shade and shadow, buildings, broadstroke, human figures, and cars. The explicit drawings and handlettering best exemplify the author's intention--to express the amazing potential of the pencil and to develop the artist's ability to sketch rapidly and with confidence. Bibliography and index are also supplied for easy reference. ISBN 471399191 Van Nostrand Reinhold |
