If you marvel at the world around you and would love to be able to draw the things you see, this book is for you. It's designed for everyone who's wanted to learn to draw but was daunted by the complexity of rendering a moving or three-dimensional object in two dimensions. You'll learn to draw the natural world, from flowers, plants, fruit, and vegetables, to beetles, birds, and wild and domestic animals. You'll draw a house and the items that fill it, as well as everyday items such as clothing, shoes, and accessories. Each project shows you how to go step-by-step from simple shapes and lines to a fully rendered color drawing. You'll learn about different materials and techniques and how to vary them according to your subject. There is also plenty of inspirational material to inspire you to branch out in different creative ways from the projects shown in the book.
