Parr Peter - Zen Of Drawing How To Draw What You See - Hardcover

Binding: Hardcover
Description: Zen of Drawing inspires you to pick up a pen pencil or an i Pad and start drawing what you see with a 'zen approach. Author Peter Parr has spent his career in animation successfully teaching people to draw and encouraging students to nurture their skills through observational drawing. He advocates a fresh way of looking closely at your subject and enlisting an emotional response in order to fully appreciate the nature of what you are about to draw. You will learn that whatever you are drawing it is essential not only to copy its outline but also to ask yourself: is it soft smooth or rough to the touch? How heavy is it? Is it fragile or solid? Then having grasped the fundamental characteristics or zen of the object make corresponding marks on the paper crisp textures a dense wash a scratchy or floating line. The chapters cover: keeping a sketchbook; tools (pen pencil charcoal watercolour and i Pad); perspective; line and volume; tone and texture; structure and weight; movement and rhythm; energy balance and composition.
