Whether you are a beginner looking to learn, or a more experienced artist looking for new ideas and a fresh approach, this stunning book is designed to make drawing simple and enjoyable – and will give you results to be proud of. Joy-Louise’s distinctive and much-loved 'bohemian botanical' style of art is inspiring to look at, but made achievable through her carefully structured step drawings and clear instructions. This complete guide to drawing contains:
A brief overview of the small amount of equipment required: simply grab paper, pens and a pencil
A drawing warm-up section that will encourage you to experiment with mark-making and motion
In-depth tips and techniques in each section, from drawing accurate petal edges to creating realistic feathers and fur
Simple, easy-to follow steps, with each new step added in a different colour, making it easy to identify which lines to add
A suggested colour palette for each project as an optional coloured finish to your line drawings
A progression of skill: the projects build in difficulty to develop your skills and confidence as you learn
Professional insights into digitizing and then combining your individual drawings into larger pieces of art.
So whether it’s a cheerful daisy, glossy beetle, majestic magpie or snuffling hedgehog, it’s never been easier to create your own beautiful array of flora and fauna.
