Read This Comic and Start Drawing Today! Nominated for a 2017 Eisner Award
For the first time ever, drawing instructor and graphic novelist Mark Crilley brings his easy-to-follow artistic instruction to aspiring artists in the form of a comic book, providing you with a one-of-a-kind how-to experience. In The Drawing Lesson , you'll meet David-a young boy who wants nothing more than to learn how to draw. Luckily for David, he's just met Becky-his helpful drawing mentor. Page by page, Becky teaches David (and you!) about the essential fundamentals that artists need in order to master drawing, all in a unique visual format. In panel after panel, Crilley provides lessons on shading, negative space, creating compositions, and more, with accompanying exercises that you can try for yourself. Are you ready to start your drawing lesson today?
The meeting -- Drawing what you see -- Shading -- Beginning with a loose sketch -- Understanding light and shadow -- Using negative space -- Checking proportions -- Simplifying things -- Creating a composition -- Bringing it all together -- Moving on.
An instructional story presented in comic book format, featuring a twelve-year-old boy who learns about drawing and life from an artist he meets in the park.
