Designed for a course in Drawing I, Drawing Concepts, or Creative Drawing, Smagula's Creative Drawing emphasizes critical thinking in conjunction with fundamental techniques to achieve practical results.

Alongside the established classics, readers can consider the work of students employing similar media and techniques. All of the student work is presented right along side professionals, and all are the result of the author's teaching.

Features:


Practical Guides. Guides on Choosing Special Papers (Guide 1), Conserving, Matting, and Framing Drawings (Guide 2), and Photographing your Drawings (Guide 3), give practical advice to drawing students on special topics.

Drawing Applications. Chapter 13: Drawing Applications (formerly limited to computer-aided drawing) has been expanded and completely rewritten to illustrate potential career paths for aspiring artists.
