StartArt: Drawing

Pick up a pencil and start your drawing journey with our ultimate guide to drawing for beginners! This 100-page special, aimed at the absolute beginner, guides you through which materials to buy and how to apply your first marks, to practising essential techniques and colour blending.

Through step-by-step demonstrations and practical exercises, StartArt: Drawing will take you every step of the way to building your confidence and creative skills. You’ll learn how to draw with coloured pencils and ink, fill your first sketchbook – it’s easier than you think! – and learn the techniques needed to create delicate scratchboard artwork.

Also included within your guide are 22 practical how-to videos and demonstrations, which have been exclusively produced by our six contributors to offer you even more support and inspiration as you work through the exercises and demonstrations on the following pages.

StartArt: Drawing is also available as a digital edition.
