Draw People Every Day by K Mcleod

Draw People Every Day by K Mcleod

A lively, colorful figure drawing instruction book that encourages aspiring illustrators to work in ink and watercolor to create quick, confident renderings of diverse, contemporary people.

While today's illustrators work primarily in ink and watercolor, figure drawing instruction still tends to emphasize work in pencil. Commercial illustrator Kagan McLeod offers an approach to figure and portrait drawing more in keeping with today's preferred tools and techniques, one that focuses on cultivating spontaneity, energy, and confidence by providing exercises for brush work in ink and watercolor. By breaking figure and portrait drawing into the three major aspects of line, tone, and color and recommending time limits for each exercise, McLeod encourages working fast and fearless, rather than worrying about getting your figures just right. Filled with numerous illustrative examples of diverse, modern people, Draw People Every Day reflects practical, applicable techniques to get you drawing the people you see in the world around you with speed and proficiency.

After graduating from Sheridan College's illustration program in 1999, Kagan McLeod began illustrating for publications, newspapers, and design firms. He started as a staff artist for the National Post newspaper, and his illustrations have appeared in publications such as Entertainment Weekly, Reader's Digest, The Walrus, The Wall Street Journal, Toronto Life, The Boston Globe, and Popular Mechanics. Infinite Kung-Fu, his first graphic novel, was released in 2012. He has a hound dog and lives in Toronto with his wife and two daughters.
