Start with a Scribble: Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered - Spiral
Details
by Quentin Blake (Author), John Cassidy (Author)
Can you find the pointy end of a pencil? Then you can draw! Start with a Scribble will banish your inner critic and kick-start your inner genius, as you learn to capture the spirit of things with a little how-to and a lot of just-do. An artist-quality pen and two watercolor pencils (red and black) are included. Inside, you'll find:
- Prompts to inspire you (e.g., "emotional rabbits")
- Doodles to finish ("Mrs. Thudkins takes her floppaterasis for a walk")
- Techniques to try (only when the mood strikes you), from shading to perspective
- And plenty of wide-open space to play around in.
Publisher's note: Start with a Scribble is an updated North American edition of Drawing for the Artistically Undiscovered (Klutz, 1999).
