Drawing is all about learning to really see the world around you and to translate it on to paper. In this book, author Vivienne Coleman shows how you can use just a few simple strokes, shapes and shades to draw almost any subject you like, from a piece of fruit to a detailed landscape. Each exercise is broken down into easy steps so that, even if you are new to drawing, you will be amazed at the results you can achieve. As you gain in confidence you can tackle still life objects around the home, then larger outdoor objects and landscapes, and finally living subjects: animals and people. From your first marks on paper to your most ambitious portrait, you will find your journey enjoyable and, above all, rewarding.|Vivienne Coleman is a professional artist specializing in pencil drawing. Originally a research scientist, Vivienne was inspired to draw again as an adult after joining an art group. She now undertakes commissions including pet portraits, people and wildlife, and runs drawing courses at her home in the English Lake District.
