Marcos Mateu-Mestre - Framed Drawing Techniques

About the book: 

Framed : Drawing Techniques: Mastering ballpoint pen, graphite pencil, and digital tools for visual storytelling!

No matter what stage artists are at in their careers, “it’s necessary to look toward the future eager to learn and to be better every day,” writes artist and best-selling author Marcos Mateu-Mestre (Framed Ink, Framed Perspective Vol. 1 & 2).

Framed: Drawing Techniques, is packed with opportunities to do just that. In exquisite and thoughtful detail, Mateu-Mestre lays out distinct approaches to drawing, with chapters—The Ballpoint Pen, Graphite Pencil, The Digital Way, and The Gray Scale—outlining the benefits and challenges of each, and specific techniques that can be applied to one’s work in all the mediums to achieve the greatest results.

Alongside his important technical lessons, everything from depicting reflected light on a character’s hair, to adding rain to dramatise a scene, is Mateu-Mestre’s awe-inspiring artwork.

Framed: Drawing Techniques serves to educate and motivate artists of all levels to discover what incredible storytelling is possible with a single pen or pencil, or tablet!
