Do you know how to draw a square, triangle, and rectangle? Well, then, you know how to draw!
Drawing in 2 Strokes and 3 Moves provides you with a way to start drawing that is based on a very simple the human body, as well as everything surrounding us, can be broken down into elementary and basic geometric shapes.
The technique that author and teacher Pierre Pochet shows you here has no fine art or academic ambitions. Instead, it shows you how to quickly draw from memory a facial expression or a bodily movement, to flesh out a picture, to create a perspective, or to sketch a scene.
This approach to drawing is particularly useful for those who have no artistic training but who are considering a career in a creative field, whether that be advertising, design, or graphics . . . as well as for anyone who simply wants to learn how to draw!
I like the simplicity of the artist-author's style and overall approach. I emphatically do not like that the page showing how to draw 'standard faces' shows white/European features, while the page immediately following offers tips on 'how to make a face look Asian' and what to draw 'for an African-looking face' and that reference examples throughout the entire book are decidedly homogeneous. For sure gonna seek out intentionally diverse reference resources/books to supplement this and I suggest anyone who reads this go in with that same intent.
