For many artists, drawing is both vocation and avocation. Drawing for pleasure keeps our skills sharp and allows us to expand our horizons by trying new materials and media - to say nothing of providing countless hours of enjoyment.
Scott McKowen has enjoyed a four-decade career as an awardwinning illustrator and designer whose work is known across the world. Drawing is his livelihood, but he makes a constant practice of observational drawing from life. He always travels with a sketchbook - he draws everywhere from museums, restaurants, theatres and zoos, to cities, parks and on holiday. How I Draw provides an overview of Scott's draftsmanship in various media, with insights and tips guaranteed to help anyone who shares his love of drawing. Sections in this book include: Some Basics; Travel Sketchbooks; Cabinet of Curiosities; Life Drawing; Portraiture; Animals, Vegetables and Minerals; Lucid Drawing; Ephemera.
How I Draw is a delightful and inspiring tour through highlights of McKowen's impressive drawing portfolio.
