Drawing Perspecitve and People


Our New books keep coming. We receive a lot of new books each summer, but you will have all fall and spring to catch up reading them.

When I asked the art students what kinds of art books they would like the library to order, they all voted for how to books rather than books which showcased a particular artist's work. So today's new books are all about how to draw:

Perspective Made Easy by Ernest Norling is filled with diagrams and descriptions to show and describe techniques to make drawing easier and more accurate.

How to Draw What you See by Rudy De Reyna could be a text for a drawing class because it starts at the beginning of drawing theory and moves on to still lifes and figures. A good place to brush up your drawing.

Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil by J. D. Hillberry is not about how to draw, but about how to make your drawings look fantastic by adding texture and shadow with pencil.

Drawing the Head and Figure by Jack Hamm has ideas and examples dealing with a wide variety fo face and body shapes.

Figure Drawing for Fashion Design by Elisabetta Drudi and Tiziana Paci offers ideas adn perspectives on drawing thin bodies with clothes on them.
