About this ebook

“Charming . . . A fine starting point for fledgling artists and a handy reference for more experienced illustrators seeking a fresh jolt of creativity.”?ForeWord Reviews

Draw your bicycle. Draw your favorite food. Draw your garden. Step-by-step projects, prompts, and creative inspiration make it fun and easy to draw one hundred everyday items. Whether it’s a pet, the local café, or the contents of the kitchen cabinet, Draw Every Little Thing demonstrates just how easy it is to render the world around you with little more than a pencil, paper, and paint.

This aesthetically pleasing book familiarizes you with a range of drawing tools and materials, including graphite pencil, pen and ink, colored pencil, and gouache, before offering a quick overview of basic color theory. Each subsequent chapter is then devoted to a specific theme—kitchenalia, hobbies, neighborhood haunts, and much more—and packed with simple step-by-step drawing projects.

Encouraging you to jump around so you can draw what immediately inspires you, the book shows you how to develop your own personal style, as well as add color to your drawings using gouache and colored pencil. Crafty projects round things out, allowing you to use your newfound skills. Filled to the brim with whimsical artwork and loads of creative ideas, Draw Every Little Thing encourages artists of all skill levels to draw any time inspiration strikes.
