Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" by Allen W. Seaby is a seminal piece on art study and the various techniques involved in creating the perfect illustrations. Seaby provides a detailed insight of the theoretical underpinnings of art forms coupled with various sample illustrations for the reader to appreciate common mistakes and myths around drawing. Spread across multiple chapters, Seaby opens with an enlightening introduction that establishes the rules within which every art student should work. For him, sense of proportion and originality are of prime importance in developing art. " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" contains dedicated sections on forms, tone studies, edge studies, related figures and landscaping among other types. Seaby closes with works of some of the well-known artists and tips for illustrators. While every section of the book is presented in vivid detail it is the section on drawing the human figure that merits specific mention as the author dedicates multiple chapters on the topic including preliminary notes, search for the perfect form as well as time sketching. Unlike many other books on art, " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" is not a straightforward 'how to' book. Seaby takes great pain in providing explanations and context to each of the aspects he explores in this work. Comparisons between various techniques including line drawing, charcoal and sketches as well as regional differences between the West and the east, specifically Japan make this book an interesting read not just for students of art but the casual enthusiasts as well. Not only will " Drawing for Art Students and Illustrators" enhance the abilities of proficient artists, it can also be an excellent starting point for amateurs and newcomers.

Download or read book Handbook of Drawing Classic Reprint written by William Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "All true education consists in the cultivation of the judgment," writes William Walker in the Preface to Handbook of Drawing. With this simple statement of intent, Walker imparts lessons on drawing and lessons about the nature of art. Walker describes techniques and art together, so the reader learns not to copy, but instead to see art for him or herself, and approach that readers will surely be delighted with. The Handbook of Drawing has two aims. First, the book sets out to teach the elementary principles of drawing. Second, it seeks to impart judgement on matters involving art, so that students can develop a good eye. To teach students how to draw, Walker begins with the basics: how to see, how to hold the pencil, how sketch, how to outline and how to use shade and light. The lessons are easy to understand and are accompanied by illustrations. The second half of the book touches on the essence of what it means to be an artist. There are many beautiful passages examining how to draw an object in a more natural, artistic way. For example, after describing how to draw a leaf, Walker discusses how to make it the leaf more life-like and more beautiful. "But if a leaf is so placed as to show its varied and delicate curves in front one of another then we are no longer drawing from the flat... but from an object in space, with all the exquisite changes of curve and surface, and there is now more properly a field for Art expression." The illustrations - one of a flat leaf and one of a foreshortened, flowing leaf - expertly demonstrate Walker's advice. Handbook of Drawing discusses perspective and how technical ability differs from artistic ability. Walker repeatedly warns students against mere copying, encouraging them, instead, to find their own style. Anyone interested in drawing must have this expertly written text.

Download or read book Drawing for Beginners Classic Reprint written by Dorothy Furniss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those that have wanted to draw for a long time but may consider themselves without artistic ability, Drawing for Beginners is an exciting inclusion to the Forgotten Books library. The book starts at the very beginning, with what tools to use, hand positioning, and the best types of paper for drawing, painting and sketching. Author Dorothy Furniss then talks (and sketches) you through the drawing of a leaf. If you follow the simple advice presented, it may in fact be the best leaf you have ever drawn. From the drawing of a leaf, the book takes your through the drawing of small objects, people and their specific body parts, animals, and larger inanimate objects such as buildings and airplanes. The latter chapters tackle some of the more challenging skillsets required by any artist: perspective, measurement, composition, lighting, and shading. With clearly and concisely presented material, there is no doubt that Drawing for Beginners will improve your artistic ability if approached studiously. Of course, there is no one book that will turn a beginner into an expert, and this book is no exception. However, it can be said with confidence that reading this book will give novice artists the mental tools required to become good artists, which is about as much as you can ask for from a book. Author Dorothy Furniss puts it best: "We must think with the brush and the pencil; we must think first and then draw round our 'think.' I hope that this book may help you to arrange your thoughts. It is but a helping hand on the broad highway that leads to the great world of art." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Art of Sketching From Nature The Art Manuals of which this, on "Sketching from Nature" is the first, have had a large and continued sale in England. Among the many different books on such subjects as these treat of, it is difficult to decide which is entitled to the preference; but students of Art who are separated from the ordinary means of getting information on its practical details, have always sought to gain hints and methods through works of this class. It has been wisely said, that any system of government was better than none, and these words apply well to drawing and painting. Regular ways of work of almost any approved kind, are capable in practised hands of rendering the thoughts and feelings of an artist, which a medley of methods cannot develop.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Free-Hand Drawing: A Manual for Teachers and Students In order that this change may be made, it is not necessary that the teacher become artist, but that they give to the subject the time required to enable them to draw simple subjects correctly. The methods presented have been tested in elementary and advanced schools, and, if followed, will give ability to draw correctly from nature in an artistic manner. To secure satisfactory results it is necessary that those giving the most elementary instruction understand the requirements of more advanced work. For this reason the chapter on composition has been given, and no attempt has been made to arrange the book so that teachers may study simply the directions for their special grades.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Free-Hand Drawing: Light and Shade and Free-Hand Perspective for the Use of Art Students and Teachers If his mind is so constructed that he cannot discover and apply the few rules necessary for this work, it is quite likely that his time will be more profitably spent in some other direction; for the rules of perspective which the artist requires are so simple as to be easily given in a few sentences. From the standpoint of the artist, then, there may be more theory than is needed, but the teacher of much experience will not find this true.

Download or read book A Visual Guide to Classical Art Theory for Drawing and Painting Students written by Eric Mantle and published by Parkhurst Brothers Publishers Incorporated. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eric Mantle presents the basics of classical theory in a clear and concise manner for all beginning drawing and painting students. His book features diagrams that illustrate every concept. Students will see the complexities of color theory and understand how to create the illusion of volume and depth on a 2-dimensional surface. "As an art student," Professor Mantle recalls, "I was frequently frustrated by instructional books that gave lengthy verbal descriptions of visual concepts and then showed small and/or unclear diagrams of those concepts. As an art teacher, I found that my students would gain a clearer understanding of a visual concept if my verbal explanation was combined with a diagram of that concept." A Visual Guide to Classical Art Theory is great for both traditional and non-traditional media. Each page, theory and diagram represents a different tool for the artist to use. Through their use, the artist will find an infinite number of solutions. Artists also may use the book to create a trompe-l'oeil effect in graffiti art or the illusion of volume and depth on the computer. A Visual Guide to Art Theory is presented in a unique, non-verbal format that clearly illustrates the effect of perspective on color, light and shade.
Download or read book The Artist s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing written by Anthony Ryder and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2014-03-02 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many of us want to learn “how to draw.” But as artist Anthony Ryder explains, it’s much more important to learn what to draw. In other words, to observe and draw what we actually see, rather than what we think we see. When it comes to drawing the human figure, this means letting go of learned ideas and expectation of what the figure should look like. It means carefully observing the interplay of form and light, shape and line, that combine to create the actual appearance of human form. In The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing, amateur and experienced artists alike are guided toward this new way of seeing and drawing the figure with a three-step drawing method. The book’s progressive course starts with the block-in, an exercise in seeing and establishing the figure’s shape. It then build to the contour, a refined line drawing that represents the figure’s silhouette. The last step is tonal work on the inside of the contour, when light and shadow are shaped to create the illusion of form. Separate chapters explore topics critical to the method: gesture, which expresses a sense of living energy to the figure; light, which largely determines how we see the model; and form, which conveys the figure’s volume and mass. Examples, step-by-steps, and special “tips” offer helpful hints and practical guidance throughout. Lavishly illustrated with the author’s stunning artwork, The Artist’s Complete Guide to Figure Drawing combines solid instruction with thoughtful meditations on the art of drawing, to both instruct and inspire artists of all levels.
Download or read book Drawing Made Easy written by Edwin George Lutz and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing Made Easy: A Helpful Book for Young Artists" is an instructional guide written by Edwin George Lutz. Lutz's book is intended to be an instructional for beginning artists. The book begins with a very brief introduction that features the tools required for successful drawing. While intended as a how-to guide, the book contains very little text. Instead, the pages of Lutz's book are primarily composed of step-by-step guides to drawing very specific items. Christmas trees, campfires, thrushes, pansies, storks, pigs, babies, and automobiles are only some of the items detailed in this book. A standard page features a brief explanatory paragraph and a series of steps in drawing an item, from designing the outline to filling in the details. Lutz's book is clearly intended for the beginning artist with little to no experience. While the step-by-step nature of the instruction is appreciated, the book at times does lack textual explanation. Little detail is provided on topics such as shading and perspective, and while the reader will use both of these techniques, they may not be aware they are doing so. Ultimately, "Drawing Made Easy" is a useful book as an individual's very first introduction to drawing, it is effective in guiding the reader from start to finish on a large number of drawings. This book can be recommended as a good starting point. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The American Drawing Book Classic Reprint written by John Gadsby Champan and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Drawing-Book From the delight, as well as profit, that awaits them, all may be safely invited and tempted to the study of Drawing. They may find difficulties; 'but they will find pleasures, also, of the richest kind. They will find flowers blooming along their way, and wonders Opening before them at every step: nature unfolding her ample volumes, and displaying combinations of beauty and delight, beyond the power of words to tell them of. It will be theirs, to record the ever changing pictures of earth and heaven; to give them body and form, in which others, lea favored than themselves, may participate through them: theirs, to preserve the image of some cherished object long after it has ceased, in its reality, to exist - or, perhaps, to call forth some priceless treasure from the world of poetry and thought. To those who have in view more than mere pleasure and amusement in the pursuit of the art of Drawing, may be fairly promised advantages that they will surely realize; and a portion of this work will be devoted especially to those who look to the application of the art to its most practical purposes. Most of the difficulties constantly felt by artificers in the execution of their handiwork, will be obviated, when the same hand that executes can design. Let our mechanics have their apprentices instructed in Drawing, and the effects will be soon evident in their work shops. They will no longer depend upon foreign inventions, that are, after all, little adapted to the wants, tastes, and habits of our people. Let these wants be supplied by articles, at once more useful and equally ornamental, of home production. Let them learn to use their own strength.
