Inhaltsangabe

Pencil is a remarkably versatile and rewarding medium. This handy guide shows you how to bring depth and detail to your work.

The book takes the form of single-page demonstrations of a wide variety of subjects. Each is simply explained and illustrated and it's easy to find what you want. After an introduction to materials, tools and basic drawing techniques, its chapters explore natural and man-made textures.

Each chapter is further subdivided so you get all the flowers together, for example. There's also useful information on capturing water, people and animals. The chapter on man-made textures covers glass, paper, rust and brickwork.

Books on texture usually treat it as a subject in its own right. But this one strikes a nice balance: it lets you concentrate on texture as a detail. It's easy to read and a delight.
