Before you is a detailed guide to creating illustrations in the traditional Chinese style using lines. It includes examples of a wide variety of themes: flowers and plants, exquisite garments and decorations, household items, characters, and symbols — everything that touches upon the aesthetics of medieval China.

Additionally:
– the opportunity to color the drawings right in the book;
