Library Journal Review

Starting with the premise that everyone can draw, artist Leamy takes readers on a whirlwind tour of illustration techniques, skills, and approaches. Fifty brief exercises anchored by successful works by masters of the past and emerging artists of today delve into mark-making, shading, mood, perspective, storytelling, and more. Every exercise references an alternate example of highlighted elements that can be found elsewhere, encouraging readers to move through the book nonlinearly. Simple line drawings and diagrams demonstrate the use of various tools and detail different procedures and techniques. VERDICT This guide compresses an abundance of artistic knowledge and inspiration into a compact package that all readers will enjoy. © Copyright 2017.
