Calle -- whose clients have included NASA, the National Park Service, \u003ci\u003eLadies' Home Journal, \u003c\/i\u003e and the U.S. Postal Service -- explores pencil drawing as a serious medium rather than just a preliminary to painting. \u003cbr\u003e Starting with a brief history of the development of the pencil and its use by celebrated artists of the past, Calle discusses tools and materials before introducing a series of demonstrations. Lavishly illustrated chapters examine form, figure drawing, sketching, drawing from nature, perspective, and more, including tips on doing trial renderings of key sections of a picture, making corrections, handling perspective and composition, and using photography and other drawing aids. \u003cbr\u003e This new edition brings \u003ci\u003eThe Pencil, \u003c\/i\u003e Calle's most defining book on working in graphite, back in to circulation after 25 years. It features revisions and updates by the author's son Chris Calle, who is also an accomplished artist and illustrator. Students and teachers as well as serious beginners who want to draw in a realistic style will appreciate this opportunity to sharpen their pencil techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46311071187095,"sku":"9780486838649","price":2235.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780486838649.webp?v=1767702326","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-pencil-9780486838649","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
