Drawing and Painting Expressive Little Faces

[Quarry Books, $23] Under the guidance of watercolor illustrator and Skillshare Top Teacher Amarilys Henderson, readers are taken through “step-by-step techniques for creating people and portraits with personality.” Users of this colorful manual are encouraged to explore the possibilities of different media (watercolor, ink, markers) as they learn how to break down and simplify the face and its features, achieve perfect pigments, and get inspired to apply their character-capturing skills to new projects. Great for beginners, rusties or those looking for a fresh angle on their live sketch outings. [Feb. 18]
