Drawing Resource #8?
Hello everyone!,
Are you interested in sketching, but you're not sure "how" to sketch? Are you confused about the materials, such as the type of pencils, markers, pens, paper, carrying cases, etc.? Are you confused as to why you should sketch? No worries, a book I recommend reading is called, The Artist's Guide to Sketching by James Gurney and Thomas Kinkade. This book, while out of print, is an excellent book to understand why one should sketch (practice, practice, practice!), as well what it means to sketch (e.g., capturing ideas). Additionally, they go over their materials, what they recommend, and how they travel with their materials. Each section of the book covers a different topic, ranging from capturing motion, to drawing nature and still life. The unfortunate part about this book is that it is out of print. Also, if you're looking to buy the book, you might find it, but from what I researched, the price will range from $80 to close to $200 (and this is in used condition, too!)! If you have the ability to purchase this excellent book, then go for it. Fortunately, you might be able to rent this book at your local library (like I did!). If you can find the book at your local library, then great! Go check out the book, and start reading! You won't regret it! If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to comment below, or e-mail me. I hope you enjoyed this post! Thank you!
