Excellent Reference Book

Easy to follow with a step by step guide to help create a wide variety of textures. Plenty of tips and techniques for working in both charcoal and graphite.

Excellent book shows to how-to create graphite textures to apply to your own drawings - or just for fun

This is an excellent book. If like me you like drawing a box and filling it with a mini drawing or segment then you will love these textures. About 75% are pencil and 25% pastel. Each page takes a texture like human hair, tree bark or water and shows a how-to in 4 boxes. The first box is usually the most helpful laying down the structure and then there is progressive finishing. I'm quite slow at the final detail stage but I have had some excellent results by following th steps and learning the techniques rather than copying the examples line for line.My only real criticisms are that the book is quite small at under A4 in size so the examples are also small, and that the examples could be ordered by difficulty. Rain drops for example are right at the end and human hair near the front. A minor niggle for what is an excellent book.

A very useful book. The fact that one is able to look inside at some of the content before buying, was extremely welcome.

An amazing little book

What an amazing little book! It is full of simple clear information on how to create a wide range of textures. As soon as I got it, I sat down and drew a cwine glass, an apple, a pear and some cobble stones - all in just a few minutes! I showed this book to my art teacher, who immediately borrowed it - I think she will probably buy one of her own. I recommend it!

Great for budding artists.

Really enjoy trying all the various art projects in this book. Each one is explained in a series of four pictures, with accompanying explanations, including the correct pencil to use. I was particularly pleased with the project for drawing a dog’s nose. Highly recommended.

Very brief steps with each texture handy reference to practice though.

Handy book to prompt practicing drawing different textures. Very limited steps to get from 0 to finish mostly only 3 steps in each so it doesn't go into a lot of detail of how to get there
