Quarry - 20 Ways Series
Practice 20 variations of everyday objects with guided drawing prompts
Quarry's 20 Ways series transforms basic subjects into exploration exercises that push past your default drawing habits. Each spread presents twenty distinct interpretations of a single item, a flower, a tree, a bird, demonstrating how different artists approach the same subject through varied styles, techniques, and perspectives. Study realistic renderings beside geometric abstractions, loose gesture sketches next to detailed illustrations. The format reveals how personal choices in line weight, shading approach, and compositional framing fundamentally alter what you communicate.
Blank spaces beside each example invite immediate practice. Draw your interpretation while the reference remains visible, experimenting with approaches you wouldn't naturally choose. This side-by-side structure encourages direct comparison between your instinctive style and intentional variations. Illustrators use these books to expand visual vocabulary; designers reference them for icon development and logo concepts; casual sketchers discover that familiar subjects contain far more drawing possibilities than assumed.
The 8.5×10 format provides generous working space without feeling precious. Paperback construction means you can toss it in a bag for coffee shop sessions or studio warm-ups. Each volume focuses tightly on its subject category, building depth through repetition rather than breadth through variety.
