This instructional drawing book is intended to guide the reader through a story-telling based approach to gesture drawing, utilising different techniques and exercises that encourage and develop creative problem-solving as it relates to observational studies. This book clearly outlines a workflow and process with a simple exercise programme that encourages the artist to ask questions and create work that engages not only their audience but themselves. Rich illustrations are included throughout that depict this workflow and also different drawing and mark-making techniques, and how to apply the exercises throughout the course of the book. Included are video drawing tutorials and examples.
