Description

The first step in becoming an artist is learning how to draw realistically. The difficulty is that most people do not know how they see what they see. Our judgments are based on experience, on a lifetime of interpreting visual clues. In this book, internationally recognized artist Bill Martin demonstrates just what these clues are & how artists can use them to create believable drawings. He explores shape & form, value, contrast, cast shadows, texture, reflections, transparency, elliptical & linear perspective, composition, & color -- the very qualities we use innately to interpret the visible world. Each chapter includes exercises designed to help artists create the illusion of reality in their work. Over 200 illustrations.
