I had lost an older drawing book by Lee Hammond. This is an all new book of drawing and it takes you through the steps to make your drawings more realistic.

Ok, I have been sketching and painting since Feb 2024. I need a few books to guide and direct me this summer. Found it! Page one set me off in the right direction. Looking forward to updating this review with a couple of sketching exercises.

This is an aspirational book for me. I have achieved a sort of competence with several beginners’ books. I can now actually draw individual items that not only look like what they are supposed to be, but as if an adult drew them. I have no individual style yet, but I never expected to achieve the level I have now. So, I am moving ahead, still working in graphite, but planning, soon I hope, to try working with colored pencils. The way this book is laid out looks as if it might take me through the transition.

Tiene instrucciones para dibujo realista tanto a grafito como a color. Muy didáctico, aunque a veces echo de menos los paso a paso más detallados. No obstante, da muchos consejos muy instructivos y estoy muy contenta con la compra. Es un libro de calidad, bastante extenso, bien encuadernado, muy buenas ilustraciones y buena calidad en general. Muy contenta con la compra.

I always wanted to draw and this shows you from the very beginning what supplies to get and how to draw with graphite pencils and then colored pencils. It has how to pictures and how to draw them. Lee is a very talented artist and gives classes and does forensic drawing for the police and NASA and is at Rookery Bay which is an animal preserve.

I Bought “The Complete Book of Drawing Essential Skills for Every Artist” by Barrington Barber first to get the Foundation of Drawing for Beginners. When it arrived, I immediately thought that purchasing Lee Hammond’s Book would ultimately be over kill and I would be stuck with two of the same References.
I’m not and neither will you. Although they both cover the same Categories to draw, Barber goes more in Depth, while Hammond gives you a concise snap shot of each technique on two Pages.
He takes it a step further in Part 2 and introduces Colored Pencil techniques which is great for those who want to add a little color to their drawings.
This book surpassed Drawing Guide How to Add Dimension To Drawings, Shading Techniqyes. I would definitely recommend getting this book and Barber’s as well 😊

Bought 5 different books for my husband for Christmas. He is an accomplished artist, however, he finds these books helpful in different disciplines. He recommends all of them.
