About This Book
A practical manual that instructs students in charcoal and crayon drawing, beginning with essential equipment and materials—easel, drawing-board, papers, charcoals, and crayons—and precise preparation like stretching paper. It distinguishes two working methods, line-based and stump-blended, and offers elementary exercises, measurement and comparative-proportion techniques, and guidance for portraits, hair, drapery, backgrounds, landscapes, and point work. Practical advice on tools, stumps, shading, and finishing accompanies illustrative plates and an appendix that explains them, aiming to take learners from quick sketches to more refined, finished drawings.
