Draw Every Little Thing Review & GIVEAWAY

Don't know what to draw? The world around you contains an abundance of drawing inspiration. Learn how to see it with Draw Every Little Thing: Learn to draw more than 100 everyday items, from food to fashion by Flora Waycott artist and illustrator. Flora shares how she learned to look more closely at her environment while developing her own drawing practice. She begins with an introduction that covers How to Use This Book, Finding Inspiration, Tools & Materials, Drawing & Painting Techniques and Color Basics. Her preferred tools are a mechanical pencil and gouache paint, though she also uses black fineliner pens, a nib pen and ink and colored pencils. There are 4 themed sections - Around the Home, Get Outside!, Everyday Life and Around Town. Each of these subjects has several creative prompts and exercises to get you drawing and painting. Lastly, she shows how to use your colored drawings on three lovely paper craft projects. If like me, you adore Flora's work (it has a wonderful folksy charm) and want to glean all of the ideas and tips for drawing and painting you can. Or if you're looking for fun practice, her pretty new book offers a variety of ways to improve your illustrations. Walter Foster Publishing released this 128 page paperback on October 1, 2019. A Kindle edition is available. Get your copy below!
