Publisher Marketing:
With engaging, hands-on exercises and expert advice, this inspiring guide makes drawing in a realistic style easier than you may think--and more fun than you ever imagined!

It's never too early and never too late to discover the pure joy of drawing. In Drawing for the Absolute Beginner, husband and wife duo Mark and Mary Willenbrink, authors of Watercolor for the Absolute Beginner, teach you everything you need to become more confident with drawing. From choosing materials and showing you the correct way to hold your pencil to more advanced techniques like getting proportions and perspective right and drawing reflections, Mark and Mary guide you through every step of the creative process.

You'll learn how to perfect your strokes with a series of fun, hands-on exercises that lead to nine full step-by-step demos. Each exercise builds on the previous one as you develop your skills, increase your confidence, and enjoy yourself while drawing coffee mugs, clouds, trees, landscapes, portraits, and more.

Approachable and fun, Drawing for the Absolute Beginner is perfect for anyone who wants to unleash their inner artist.

"We hope you will regain that childlike passion for making art and learning without critiquing yourself harshly. We won't make you hang it on the fridge, but we do suggest you save your artwork because it will show your progress and increase your confidence as you go." --Mark and Mary Willenbrink
