"I've started drawing illustrations, but I'm not improving," "I can't draw the pictures I imagine..." The key to solving these problems lies in "how to draw lines"! When you first start drawing, it's difficult to move your pen or pencil exactly as you envision. Coordinating your mind and hand effectively to draw a single line exactly as you imagine it is a big step towards improvement.

This book carefully explains "how to draw a single line." It explains, step by step, the techniques for drawing beautiful lines: how to move your hand when drawing short lines, how to move your arm when drawing long lines, and how to move your gaze to draw lines as you imagine them.

★Drill format allows you to practice by drawing directly!

This book consists of explanation pages and practice pages, allowing you to practice by drawing lines directly with a pencil or pen. First, trace the example lines drawn in light gray to get a feel for it, and then draw your own lines. By completing a few pages of exercises each day—straight lines, curves, ellipses, geometric shapes, and more—your ability to draw the lines you envision will steadily improve.

★Builds the fundamental skills needed to draw character illustrations!

After completing the basic training, move on to practicing drawing character parts such as outlines, eyes, and hairstyles. Starting with tracing, the difficulty gradually increases, and finally you'll challenge yourself with drawing a full-body character. By diligently working through this book, you will acquire the fundamental skills needed to draw character illustrations.
