From the best-selling artist and YouTube art instructor, this book
features step-by-step lessons that show you how to draw
professional-quality portraits, landscapes, travel sketches, and animals
using only two ordinary pencils.
Great art doesn't have to be expensive. For the cost of a regular
graphite writing pencil and an equally ordinary black colored pencil,
you can create drawings worthy of framing and displaying. In this
straightforward, aspiring artist's guide to rendering a variety of
popular subjects with only two pencils, artist and art instructor Mark
Crilley presents a direct, approachable, and achievable method for
drawing just about anything. The Two-Pencil Method breaks down
Crilley's techniques across six chapters of five lessons each. In each
lesson, you'll learn how the two-pencil method can add depth and
shading, allowing you to create bold and distinctive drawings that go
beyond mere sketchbook doodles. The book moves from a primer on drawing
basics to step-by-step examples of still lifes, landscapes, animals,
travel sketches, and portraits. With each chapter, Crilley's confident
and encouraging voice and expert insights demonstrate how to achieve
stunning artistic results from the simplest of art materials.
