Overview

“The style of this book is loose and easy, about having fun, and learning to work within the confines of black and white rather than depending on color.” —Art Elements
 
Working with only positive and negative lines and shapes keeps the focus on the basics: composition, balance, and harmony. And using white and black gel, ink, and paint pens on black, tan, and gray papers allows you to experience drawing in a whole new way! Drawing in Black & White is a clever drawing and design book that contains 36 inspiring exercises and a gallery of artwork. Follow the tips and draw on black, gray, and tan paper to learn how different colored papers can make simple images pop. You’ll find lessons on drawing, pattern drawing, drawing with cut paper, and simple collage. Learn to see your drawings a new way by drawing in black and white!
 
“While confined to only two colors, black and white, this guide’s techniques, materials, and tools are not nearly so limited . . . Readers with some experience drawing and painting are the best audience for this guide, but there is plenty here for beginners and advanced artists, too.” —Library Journal
 
“The goal of the book is to let you be familiar with black and white media, to draw and have fun . . . It’s a fun activity book for those who want to dabble with art.” —Parka Blogs
