Learn to draw and paint more than 100 of your favorite everyday
items!
Step-by-step projects, prompts, and creative inspiration make it fun and
easy to draw your outfit, your favorite foods, your garden, and much
more using drawing and painting tools you already have on hand.
From learning to draw and paint plants, flowers, and
bicycles to the neighborhood café and the contents of the
kitchen cabinet, Draw Every Little Thing demonstrates just how easy
it is to render the world around you with little more than a pencil,
paper, and paint.
Following a brief introduction to the joys of simplistic drawing and
painting, this aesthetically pleasing book familiarizes you with a range
of drawing tools and materials, including graphite pencil, pen and
ink, colored pencil, and gouache, before offering a quick
overview of basic color theory. Each subsequent chapter is then
devoted to a specific theme--kitchenalia, hobbies, neighborhood haunts,
and much more--and packed with simple step-by-step drawing projects.
This accessible book encourages you to jump around so you can draw
what immediately inspires you. Interactive prompts, creative
exercises, and inspiring ideas make the process fun and engaging. Easy
techniques and helpful instructions show you how to develop your own
personal style, as well as add color to your drawings using
gouache and colored pencil. Crafty projects round out the book,
allowing you to use your newfound drawing and painting skills.
Filled to the brim with whimsical artwork and loads of creative
ideas, Draw Every Little Thing encourages artists of all skill
levels to draw any time inspiration strikes.
The Inspired Artist series invites art hobbyists and casual art
enthusiasts to have fun learning basic art concepts, relaxing into
the creative process to make art in a playful, contemporary style.
