This book offers a choice of 50 different things for you to draw. Some are fairly simple and others more complex, but all are worth having a go at as exercises in drawing. Each project is broken down into steps to show the drawing process, followed by a page on which you can make your own version using my drawings as reference. Of course, once you have tried these subjects, you may be inspired to tackle a few others of your own choice. Thats the idea all around us there are plenty of things to draw, and its just a matter of deciding which ones you are interested in. Practice is the most useful thing in drawing, and the more you practise the more skilled you will be. So have a go and see how you get on. Good luck, and keep drawing!

The mere feel of pencil on paper is part of the charm of drawing. Here are a few exercises to introduce you to basic techniques before you tackle the main part of the book. Exercises such as this are always useful to a draughtsman.
First some straight lines and circles and then some methods of producing tone.
Next a series of line and tone exercises.
Now a more careful set of tonal squares and a few basic shapes.
Here are some scribble-type areas and a set of lines that become more complex.
Now some lines to produce apparent three-dimensional forms.
And lastly a set of forms with tone to give the effect of spatial form.
To make objects look three-dimensional you need to show them diminishing as they recede from the viewer. This is done by means of drawing a horizontal line that represents the horizon (your eye level) and then constructing lines from the main shape that converge to meet at a point on the horizon the vanishing point.
One-point perspective is used when the object is facing directly towards you.
If the object is at an angle to you, two-point perspective with two vanishing points will be needed.
Here is a more complex attempt to construct a three-dimensional set of forms to resemble buildings in space.
A normal human figure has about seven and a half head lengths in the full length of the body. This is an approximate measure and individuals will be slightly different.
Most human heads are of the proportions below, with minor variations. The eyes are set halfway down the length of the head from the top of the skull to the edge of the chin.
The hairline on the forehead is about one-fifth down from the top of the head.
The end of the nose is about three-quarters of the way down the head, halfway between the eyes and the bottom of the chin.
The mouth is nearer to the end of the nose than the bottom of the chin. It is about four-fifths down the head length.
In profile the head fills a square shape, with the ear just behind the halfway mark.
The area of hair growth occupies the upper back part of the head, defined by the diagonal line from the top front to the bottom back.
The nose usually projects a little past the edge of the square.
These measurements are similar in people of all types. The minor variations that occur are usually in the fleshier parts of the face.
First draw a general outline of the pears, without being too definite. Note that the shapes are not identical as the angle of view is different.
Then firm up the shape of the pears, making the outline more precise. Put in an indication of where the light and shade fall.
