Draw Like an Artist

Thanks to NetGalley, I was able to read a digital ARC of Draw Like an Artist: 100 Faces and Figures by Chris Legaspi.

The book begins with two pages on how to best use the book, detailing suggested materials, the basic drawing process, using gesture lines, constructing the image and how to add details and clean up your artwork. This is followed by another couple of pages of tips on how to improve line control.

The rest of the book is split into three main sections, faces, features and figures, respectively. Each page has the same drawing in various stages of detail, beginning with the simplest outline, and progressing through more detailed stages, until finally reaching the finished line-art image. The cover picture shows this progression well, and is indicative of the book's content.

I'm currently learning to draw better and this is an extremely helpful book. It's very clear and easy to follow. I enjoyed it so much I've purchased a paperback copy already! Definitely a book to buy for developing artists!
