Book Overview
From the best-selling artist and YouTube art instructor, this book features step-by-step lessons that show you how to draw professional-quality portraits, landscapes, travel sketches, and animals using only two ordinary pencils. Great art doesn't have to be expensive. For the cost of a regular graphite writing pencil and an equally ordinary black colored pencil, you can create drawings worthy of framing and displaying. In this straightforward, aspiring artist's guide to rendering a variety of popular subjects with only two pencils, artist and art instructor Mark Crilley presents a direct, approachable, and achievable method for drawing just about anything. The Two-Pencil Method breaks down Crilley's techniques across six chapters of five lessons each. In each lesson, you'll learn how the two-pencil method can add depth and shading, allowing you to create bold and distinctive drawings that go beyond mere sketchbook doodles. The book moves from a primer on drawing basics to step-by-step examples of still lifes, landscapes, animals, travel sketches, and portraits. With each chapter, Crilley's confident and encouraging voice and expert insights demonstrate how to achieve stunning artistic results from the simplest of art materials.

Truely a Revolutionary approach to drawing!
Published by LLS , 2 years ago
This is an interesting book. I have several books on how to draw.. . They spend several pages going over their materials list. Not this book. . Mark wants anyone to be able to draw the pictures he does. He literally uses two pencils and bristol paper. . . He uses one graphite pencil and a black color pencil. He starts out slow with an egg and builds on your skills with each drawing. This is an attainable way to learn to draw. Excellent instructions!
