10-Step Drawing: People Review & GIVEAWAY

Learn how to draw people from head to toe! New in the Quarto Knows Ten-Step Drawing series this is 10-Step Drawing: People: Draw a range of figures & faces in ten easy steps by Justine Lecouffe. This easy-to-follow guide begins each tutorial with simple shapes - circles, ovals, triangles, etc. The first drawing tutorial is the eye. It is illustrated in 10 steps as suggested by the book's title. Simply follow the step-by-step instructions (both illustrated & text) adding each detail until finished. Go on to the rest of the features - ear, nose, mouth and eventually the face. Continue in this fashion until you complete all of the body parts - hand, arm, foot and leg. Then put it all together - draw 12 people (6 men & 6 women) in varying poses and expressions. Add color if you wish. Use your choice of medium - for example colored pencil or watercolor. To learn, practice and improve your drawing skills - just add paper and pencil! It's fairly compact dimensions and light weight make it easily portable. The complete table of contents is shown below. Walter Foster Publishing released this 128 page paperback on September 1, 2020. Get your copy below!
