How to draw from photographs - Diane Cardaci

Most artists use photographs and regard them as valuable reference tools. Complex subjects are generally easier to draw from photographs ? especially when factors like weather, movement, light changes can make drawing from life impossible. Children and animals rarely sit still to be drawn, so a photograph to draw from is the perfect answer to this problem. Showing artists how to arrange and take a photograph ? paying attention to composition, lighting, perspective, etc ? and then taking them through each stage of transferring this into a drawing this innovative book enables artists to start drawing animals, people, landscapes, still life that look real enough to reach out and touch.
