A guide for those who want to learn life drawing and for those who already know how to do it but want to improve themselves. All the necessary suggestions set out clearly and in detail. A thorough work that leaves nothing out, from the sketch with closed eyes to the perspective, from how to reproduce in pencil the textures of the different materials, the shadows and reflections, to the theory of colour and the various watercolour techniques. Rich in images, it leads the reader by the hand into the world of urban sketching.
