Pencil Drawing

Potloodtekening: veel plezier met een potlood

The pencil drawings in this book are based on the use of simple forms that are already known and familiar to you, and which you can certainly draw.

From these simple, known forms, we build other forms, which without some constructive plan would be too complicated to draw. For instance, the top of the head, or cranium, is nearer to a ball in shape than anything else. So we start with a ball, and add to it the shapes we want. We thus "arrive’’ at the outlines that are needed instead of guessing at them. Only the most talented and experienced artist can draw outright the final outlines. That procedure is most difficult, and is the reason most people give up drawing.

But knowing how to "construct’’ makes drawing simple and easy, and a delightful pastime to anybody. By building preliminary shapes and developing the outlines on them, we know WHERE TO DRAW OUR REAL LINES. There is hardly anything that cannot first be constructed by the use of simple forms.

The app is free so you can immediately start to practice your pencil drawing.
