Lavishly illustrated chapters examine form, figure drawing, sketching, drawing from nature, perspective, and more, including tips on doing trial renderings of key sections of a picture, making corrections, handling perspective and composition, and using photographyand other drawing aids. This new edition brings The Pencil, Calles most defining book on working in graphite, back in to circulation after 25 years. It features revisions and updates by the authors son Chris Calle, who is also an accomplished artist and illustrator. Students and teachers as well asserious beginners who want to draw in a realistic style will appreciate this opportunity to sharpen their pencil techniques.
