Drawing Techniques encourages you to think of drawing as a form of communication. Gesticulating, touching, feeling, doodling, and moving are just some of the actions the author takes as starting points for putting pen to paper. Following a short essay are twenty-two exercises, lasting ten minutes to an hour, guaranteed to increase your self-confidence and drawing skills. Peter Jenny's introduction to the techniques of drawing is both accessible and passionate, inspiring anyone with a creative interest to embrace visual thinking.
