“The Artist’s Drawing Book by Katy Lipscomb and Tyler Fisher involves you from the very first page by inviting you to ‘start immediately by adding some flare to this page, personalising it with whatever doodles, colours, or images inspire you the most!’ Filled with exercises, activities and guides, the book aims to inspire your inner artist, starting with information about the essential tools and materials you will need and moving on to specific skills and techniques, including sketching basics, creating a composition and drawing from life, using pen and ink, and colour, mixing media and finding inspiration. The design of the book is fun and informal, but the relaxed style doesn’t detract from the good instruction contained here. It’s packed with advice for beginners and those wishing to revisit their drawing skills, with step-by-step exercises, tips from the professionals and suggestions for what to try next. This is a refreshing and lively book that is sure to inspire.
