Modern Drawing: A Contemporary Exploration of Drawing and Illustration by Chelsea Ward

5.0

'Modern Drawing: A playful and creative exploration of drawing and illustration for mixed media artist and other creative types' by Chelsea Ward was a completely inspiring book about just getting out and drawing.

From a discussion of portable tools to take on trips near and far, to techniques to add color, this book was very approachable. The discussions of different mediums like pencil, ink and watercolor made sense, especially when accompanied by the author's drawings. There are chapters on breaking down drawings for scenery, plants, people, and animals.

The drawings vary from loose to detailed, depending on the amount of time the author can spend on a subject. I like the idea of keeping a sketch diary of trips, and I fell inspired to draw more based on this ebook.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Quarto Publishing Group - Walter Foster, and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
