Draw 500 Ways to Get Around by James Gulliver Hancock
Not just a technique guide, this sketch book breaks vehicles into simple shapes to teach you how to draw 500 things that will get you around.James Gulliver Hancock feels sick when he’s not drawing. He panics that he may not be able to draw everything in the world… at least once. His obsession with re-imaging his world has seen him work for major print, TV and music publishing releases across the world including Coca-Cola, Ford Motors, Herman Miller, Businessweek Magazine, The New York Times, and Simon and Schuster.
He grew up in Sydney, Australia. In kindergarten, he remembers devising the most complex image he could think of … refusing to move on to the next activity after painting, instead detailing a complex drawing of a city of houses including every detail, every person, and every spider web between every house. He still has the drawing.
In high school, James discovered technical drawing and he later studied Visual Communications at the University of Technology, Sydney. He has always been obsessed with machines and the way things work and rendering the meeting of tiny screws in perfect perspective was a delight. This is now married with a love of colour, paint and controlled mess as well as connecting it to deeper conceptual and philosophical meaning.
He has traveled extensively including an overland journey from Sydney to London via S.E. Asia, China, Japan, Russia, and Europe. Rolling in a typhoon in the sea between Japan and Russia he wondered how he’d save his sketchbook when the ship sank. He undertook artist residencies all over Europe and most recently has been living in New York where he has worked for a wide variety of high-profile clients and taken the city by storm with his personal project All The Buildings in New York.
Currently he works out of two studios: one in The Pencil Factory in Brooklyn, New York, and from his homeland studio by the beach in Sydney, Australia.
