Description
Drawing from life with charcoal offers a fresh approach to capturing the human form. Instead of building up layers, noted art instructor Douglas R. Graves encourages students to focus on tonal masses immediately. This innovative method enables quick and accurate drawing without prior line work. Step-by-step demonstrations and over 200 of the author's own drawings provide inspiration and practical guidance in this technique. Topics include seeing tonal quality, keying a drawing, translating color into black and white, and achieving proper proportions. With its emphasis on observation, composition, and draftsmanship, this book is an invaluable guide for artists of all levels.
