People & portraits

Hammond, Lee 1957- (Author).

Summary: Drawing with colored pencils is fun and rewarding when you do it Lee Hammond's way!Starting with the basics, you'll learn how to blend, layer and shade to create soft skin tones, subtle textures and delicate shadows. She then teaches you to view what you see as a series of shapes and lines, starting with the individual components of the face. You'll practice drawing eyes, noses, mouths, ears, hair, clothes and hands, mastering Lee's methods for graphing, creating values and more. Every exercise features numbered steps with visual examples that demonstrate how to achieve every effect. And as you progress through these exercises, Lee helps you put everything together to achieve beautiful portraits that are strikingly realistic.
