Draw from Life in Three Easy Steps
“Have you ever wanted to draw something that really excited you? Something you thought was the best subject you ever laid eyes on, only to “come to your senses” and realize it was way too complicated? I have.
“You know what? Drawing isn’t all that difficult if you have a few basic tools in hand. Simple tools. Tools so basic we often overlook them, but that can transform our drawing experience once we master them.
“This tutorial gives you a simple and easy-to-follow way to begin mastering drawing from life. It will help you with every drawing you hope to create for the rest of your life.” — Carrie L. Lewis
