Creative Drawing Techniques

David Brammeld

This in-depth study of the techniques and practice of drawing explores the many properties and uses of the medium. It is one of the most complete analyses to have been published and examines the topic not only as a foundation for other work, but also as a serious method of production in its own right.

David Brammeld begins, of course, with materials, equipment and di erent ways of working, but this is aimed at those who already have facility and experience in the eld rather than the complete beginner. From the very start, this is a book which takes its subject and its readers very seriously indeed. After this, there are studies in di erent situations, exercises, demonstrations and discussions that examine the processes of thought as much as technique. David uses the full gamut of media, making this a comprehensive, enjoyable and satisfying guide to drawing in both theory and practice.
