Sketching for Beginners. The Art of Quick Sketches Step by Step.

Eight-year-old Peter, who suffers from dyslexia, was often called "slow" and "backward." In additional reading and writing classes, his teacher, kindly Mr. Gavin, took a pencil in hand and told a whole story by depicting just a couple of figures. Inspired by his teacher's example, the grown-up Peter took up drawing seriously, became a recognized artist and a member of the Royal Art Institutions of the UK, although he never learned to spell words correctly. In this book, he shares his story of becoming a master of sketching and teaches you how to create your own impressive sketches. Peter Cronin is confident that sketching easily turns boring waiting in line or at the airport into a dynamic plot for a future painting. Numerous step-by-step lessons and tips from the artist—by the way, a person with a great sense of humor!—on technique, choice of materials, and tools will accompany you on this exciting journey from simple sketches to more complex drawings. Embark on a journey to your favorite places and don’t forget to bring your sketchbook!
