Drawing Everything! From Cats to Trees and Mountains. Over 50 Projects

Nature offers us numerous big and small ideas, from a luxurious composition to a small primrose, from an old can on the farm and a landscape with a little church nestled among the hills to a blossoming apple tree. All these moments are precious and worth drawing. And with our complete encyclopedia, it will be very easy to do, as you will find many useful tips and step-by-step lessons that will assist in mastering the basics as well as new drawing techniques and methods. In this edition, we will take the reader into nature and show how many attractive motifs can be found in the neighborhoods of our homes and cities. Anyone who looks closely at the world around them will be rewarded in return – in their own yard, on the vacant lot around the corner, in the park, even on the balcony. From this complete encyclopedia of drawing the natural world, you will learn about the tools and materials for drawing, basic geometric shapes, shading techniques, 'painting' with a pencil, creating textures of animals and plants, perspective, conveying volume through light and shadow, positive and negative space, and creating compositions of still lifes and landscapes.
