Dave Draper...Bloomington, Illinois, USA
If you've wanted to draw beautiful, realistic-looking portraits of
your favorite people, this step-by-step guide shows you how to do it. This 135 page
12 x 9 inch book takes you through gird set up to fill in techniques that produce some
amazing results, and will knock years off the learning curve.
Some artists will disagree with this method, but think of the
commercial sign applications you can accomplish with this system. If you ever needed
to paint a face on a wall, and wanted it to look exactly like the person your are
painting, this book will show you the principles.
Since I have had this book and applied the techniques, I have
accomplished some pretty amazing things myself....some of these pictures you have seen me
post on the BB.
My latest drawing is of my son Jason, and it actually captures his
real life look. My other drawings have been close, but this one is a dead ringer!
My goal to paint a face on the inside of my shop wall which is 8
feet high, using an airbrush in stead of a pencil. This book will along with a good
one on airbrushing techniques will help me realize that dream.
I bought the book at Barnes and Noble and paid $25.00..U.S. The
Amazon price is $17.99.
Here is a portrait of Jason which shows what I have learned from
this book.
