And then to venture onto subject matter unforeseen. Within this book, you will find 8 exercises and 8 drawing projects – two elements if you will. The exercises serve as the setup for the drawing projects. And the drawing projects are the subject matter themselves. A variety of topics can be found within, from big skies and silhouettes to beach stones, a horse’s head and figures. Interim exercises serve to make these projects feel more ‘doable’. It all begins with simple mark-making. The exercises then progress onto devising frames, drawing symmetry, jigsaw pieces, negative space, abstract shapes and more. Preliminary chapters explain the principles of drawing and the equipment required. Demonstrations then follow with clear step by step instructions with abundant images to make the projects easier. But the initial aim of this book is take that first step. This can form the biggest stumbling block. Only then can the journey into drawing begin.
