A dear friend was cleaning out his studio and gave me this book. I've been admiring the illustrations -- all done in graphite pencil.
Sometimes, it's simply fun to "picture walk" through a book (as my eldest called it in their childhood), absorbing inspiration from the images.
As artists, we learn from copying other artists.
These simple exercises in mark making and value studies keep our hand limber, help us expand our skills and explore new types of marks we can use in our drawings.
I hope you copy some of these pages and then add your own twist.
Wishing you sparkling inspiration and happy creating!
