  Synopsis Details Reviews  
What is drawing? Well, it's many things: the term describes "realistic" depictions of the world around us, but also includes the making of totally abstract shapes and patterns and of marks that attempt to describe states of mind and concepts that exist solely in the imagination. In The Ultimate Drawing Course John Raynes demonstrates how to observe and describe the appearance of scenes and objects around you and how to select and interpret aspects of those scenes in your own way. Throughout the emphasis is on building up your skills and confidence through a series of short, easy-to-follow practice exercises. Once you've mastered the basic skills, you can move on to a series of longer projects designed to encourage you to give full rein to your creativity. Written and illustrated by acclaimed artist, John Raynes, The Ultimate Drawing Course is packed with practical tips and step-by-step demonstrations and will enable you to tackle any subject with confidence.
