Hillberry * Publisher: North Light Books * Number Of Pages: 128 Summary: Buy This Book Rating: 5 A very comprehensive book from one of the top in his field. I am still learninf his techniques. Enjoy Very much. Summary: Unlike any other pencil drawing book Rating: 5 This book is unlike any other pencil drawing book. The drawings in this book are photo-realistic. The techniques are like nothing else you've read about in other pencil drawing books. He covers metal, leather, wood, skin, hair, fur, bricks, glass, etc. Highly recommended if you want to create very realistic drawings. If you want the wishy washy sketchy technique, then this book is not for you. Summary: Ideas and Drawings that Inspire Rating: 5 I actually found this book in my local library and had to have my own copy. I have always admired realistic pencil drawings, and the information and illustrations in this book have inspired me to keep exploring and working on my own skills. I am currently taking some private drawing lessons from a wonderful artist and when I showed her this book, she also wanted a copy. Even if you don't draw this is a beautiful book and it is truly amazing to see what can be done with graphite. Summary: No suitable for beginners, but this is a great book!! Rating: 4 The refinement of your pencil drawing begins here!! If you want your pencil drawings stay close to the realism, this is the book that will teach you to reach in that apprenticeship. This book is not indicated for beginners, it doesn't teach as maintaining proportions and/or to draw... it goes beyond of that. This book teaches step by step how to handle the materials of drawing to get textures close to the realism. Suitable for designers that already know the basic foundations of the drawing, the techniques presented in this method are innovative and use materials as the coal and the carbon pencil together with the graphite. It contains dozens of clues of like you can get the realism in your drawing with a great amount of illustrations step by step. Several textures are taught as leather, glass, wood, metals, human skin, several surfaces, etc. Summary: Obviously, not meant for beginners Rating: 5 For artists who are ready to bring their work to the next level, this book is extremely helpful. As the author states at the beginning of the book, all the shading, blending, and "texturizing" in the world won't lift an inaccurate rendering out of mediocrity. This is not a "how to draw" book, it's a "how to draw more realistically" book. The author's writing style is easy to read and understand. His still-life and portrait compositions are brilliant. This makes an excellent reference book full of information. Glad I got it. I, too, got "Drawing Sharp-Focus Still Lifes" by Zappalorti from Amazon and was very happy with it as well.
