Introduction
If you are an artist in search for further knowledge about drawing to enhance your skills then this is not the book for you. This book is for the individuals who want to be an artist but know nothing about drawing yet.
I know how it feels when you want to illustrate an idea but you just don?t know how to start. And when you finally grabbed the confidence to mark that paper but then it turned out really terrible that you don?t want to show it to anyone.
This instructional manual is for making that ?two circles? cat of yours into something more pleasing and distinguishable, for enhancing that sheep which looks like a cloud with a face, for turning your stick figures into cartoons, and more.
Learn the very basics of drawing easily by following this step-by-step tutorial and realize that drawing is something that is fun to do, and not something that becomes a cause of frustration.
