Charcoal Drawing
Paperback
(Walter Foster Jan. 1, 1996)
A long-time favorite for sketching, charcoal is also a very expressive medium. This book teaches both the basic techniques of drawing and how to develop an "artist's eye"--to see the essential elements and ignore the superfluous details. And because the projects advance from simple to complex, there is something for artists at every skill level.
o Find a list of the materials needed, from paper and charcoal to erasers and fixative
o Learn the language of charcoal: the textures, lines, strokes, and tones that turn shapes into forms and forms into compositions
o Develop a drawing from the beginning sketch to the final touches
o Follow along, step by step, to create renderings of birds and animals, landscapes, architecture, still lifes, faces, and figures
