Release Date: July 22, 2024
Language: Japanese
Paperback: 136 pages

Sketching and painting intriguing objects and landscapes is fun. However, expressing three-dimensional objects on flat paper requires some practice. This book is a three-week intensive drill for that purpose.

First, master drawing shapes with lines through "tracing," then learn to express textures and three-dimensional objects through "single-color shading." Through dual lessons on lines and shading, you'll master the fundamental skills of drawing. Starting with simple three-dimensional objects, you'll progress through everyday objects, natural landscapes, and attractive street corners. The scenery we see is rich in color. However, if you try to draw using color without understanding shading, you won't achieve a sense of three-dimensionality.

First, to fundamentally understand shading, try looking at it in shades of a single color, excluding color elements. Once you understand the tricks of shading, you'll have the foundation for watercolor and other color illustrations. Please join us for three weeks.
