Drawing Mentor 2, Lines and Shapes

by Sarah Bowles

Anyone can draw; all it takes is a pencil, paper and a little practice. The Drawing Mentor series of books breaks down drawing into simple easy to understand subjects. Each lesson is filled with detailed explanations, examples and exercises. Volume 2 covers the most basic drawing technique, lines. Starting with how to hold and use a pencil it then goes on to explain how to draw various lines. The examples and exercises contained in this volume will help you learn how to make straight and curved lines of various thicknesses and tone, and how to use those lines to make shapes to describe objects. For those just learning to draw, we recommend starting at the beginning of the series, if you’ve already developed fundamental drawing skills the later lessons with their more advanced step by step projects may be more appropriate. There are currently 16 books in the Drawing Mentor series with subjects ranging from simple lines and 3D shapes, to realistic portrait drawing and dragons. We hope that the lessons, examples and practice exercises in the Drawing Mentor books will give you the foundation you need to be able to draw anything you can see or imagine.
