As an artist I do posses several books which have guided me through my learning process. Even if I've found these books useful they are only a small portion of the learning process in my case. What I've found throughout the years is that building your drawing abilities mainly relies on your ability to interpret the information that you see and re-alliterate in a new form. Can a book make someone a better artist?
Seeing the world in a different perspective is an essential skill for drawing or creating art. This skill can be developed with time but is made easier if it is broken down into simpler steps. Different artists have different techniques which they use to break down the forms around them some of which are easier to grasp than others. A good a book shows the student how to break down the information in their surroundings so that they can better work and manipulate the forms. Such fundamental techniques include but are not limited to the following.
- Perspective
- Structure
- Anatomy
- Composition
- Color
- Lighting and shading
