The Complete Sketching Book
Hamilton has struck middle ground with this book, and considering the alternatives, it is just where he should be. Books like Cathy Johnson's Sketching and Drawing (LJ 3/15/96) can be so eager to prove that anyone can draw that they teach little beyond rough scribbles. Hamilton, on the other hand, starts with the bare essentials of sketching and then builds the student's confidence by advancing through exercises in lighting, perspective, and still lifes and on to larger outdoor scenes. One of the best books of its kind, and at a good price.Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
