About Lifelike Drawing With Lee Hammond
Product Description You Can Do It! You can draw anythingflowers, people, animals, even water and glasswith this expansive, in-depth "Drawing Bible," by veteran artist and instructor Lee Hammond. Learn to draw realistically the easy way using reference photos with Lee's simple techniques and clear step-by-step instruction. Look inside for: • Before and after examples from Lee Hammond's students that prove how her simple graphing and blending techniques translate into remarkable drawings. • The shape and "Puzzle Piece" theories and how to apply them to anything you want to draw. • More than 40 step-by-steps and plenty of tips and hints for beautiful drawings. Whether you're just beginning or more experienced, Lee's instruction will give you everything you need to know to create realistic drawings that will "wow" your audience. From Booklist Hammond's self-described "drawing bible" encompasses techniques for rendering still lifes, portraiture, landscapes, and a variety of surfaces including fabric and transparent glass. With 20 years of art making and 15 published books in print to her credit, Hammond brings an authoritative thoroughness to her latest title, a guide suitable for beginning and experienced artists. She offers a useful orientation to tone, blending, shape, and light, followed by a three-step approach to drawing using grids for layout. Demonstrations of drawing rounded curves and flat edges lead to practice drawings using perspective before she introduces subjects by category, such as nature (flowers, trees, skies, clouds and more), water (complete with a study of lifelike reflections), animals (fur and wings), and people (with each facial feature examined separately). Filled with useful suggestions such as how to use statues and photo albums for ready reference and practice, Hammond's drawing how-to should satisfy a wide audience with a broad range of abilities.
