‘Normal seeing is a state of continual recognition and familiarity, but an artist’s way of seeing is a process of curiosity and surprise."‘

Drawing is about so much more than creating art. It’s up there with music and dance as things that humans all over the world love to do and have always done since the beginning of time. It’s a way of connecting to and appreciating our world, spending time absorbed in the moment, away from life’s chatter and cares. It makes us notice everything afresh, regardless of how well we think we can draw.

Many people would like to do it, but it’s frustrating when you don’t know how. After all, we can ‘read’ pictures, so why can’t we ‘write’ them? This book will help you to learn the language of line and get into the sketching habit. It’s packed with practical and accessible exercises as well as ways to develop your own style, enjoy the process of learning and accept your mistakes. Like any new language or new skill, drawing takes time and perseverance, but it is well worth it! Give it a try.
