Summary
To draw accurately, artists must do away with preconceived ideas of what a subject should look like, and study the actual shape, size and position of the subject. This title shows how to observe an object, and how to translate that observation into an accurate rendering using graphite pencils, charcoal pencils, and pen and ink.
