Step by step, you will learn all the fundamentals of art, including basic shapes, proportion, perspectives, shading, and movement. By following the concise, easy-to-read instructions and the many sample sketches, you’ll be drawing everything from flowers and birds, to cars and basketball players, as well as snow-covered log cabins and wind-tossed sailboats on a stormy sea.
