Artist’s Handbook Series - All books in this series

Every well-rounded artist needs to be adept at sketching with pencils. Here is advice on the use of different types of pencil and appropriate papers, as well as instruction on sketching virtually everything from portraits to landscapes. Here is a new title in this exceptional art instruction series for advanced students and amateurs will also find a place on the professional artist's bookshelf. All books in the series are sturdily bound and can be taken out to the field for quick reference while the artist is at work on a painting. Their hidden spiral binding lets them lie flat while they're opened to any page, allowing students to refer to them while working at their easel. Each title in the series focuses on a specific medium, and advises on artist's tools and techniques. Color illustrations include both how-to techniques and examples of works by famous artists.

From the reviews:
“Introduce yourself to the art of pencil drawing with The Pencil Artist's Handbook. This practical guide contains hints, tips and tricks for better drawing, including information on choosing pencils, special sketching techniques, assembling an interesting composition and choosing a good subject. Full-color illustrations guide you through step-by-step explanations perfect for the beginning artist, and feature both traditional and experimental techniques.”
Artist's Magazine, July 2004
