Description : Drawing in colour is a slightly unusual title, because the obvious comment is, ‘How does that differ from painting?’ Well, in this book I examine no fewer than four methods of drawing in various colour mediums, only one of which is connected with painting. I will be showing examples and how to go about them of drawing in coloured pencil, pastel or crayon, coloured inks and watercolour painting, which can be heavily conditioned by drawing. It is very easy to get confused by the many techniques of introducing colour into the already complex area of drawing in tone, line and texture. I believe the solution is to approach it as though learning to draw afresh. Understanding colour is quite a complex affair, and the book begins by assuming that readers will benefit from an introduction to the basics of colour theory. This need not delay you, however, because even if it is not wholly grasped at once, the simple practice of applying colour in your drawings will provide you with valuable experience, leading you to work out tonal values to your own satisfaction.

Description : In 300 extraordinary drawings, Hogarth shows how to draw the head from every angle, age the face from infancy to old age, and delineate every feature and wrinkle. Although taking a formal course of study in human anatomy will give you greater depth in drawing the human head as far as proportion is concerned, this book does go into more depth than a course would in terms of facial features. Burne is of the old school in the sense that he probably learned such terms as dolichocephalic and brachiocephalic in the earlier part of this century, when these labels were commonly applied to ethnic groups. But he ably avoids this obsolete view by demonstrating these head types have examples in a variety of racial and ethnic groups. This very variety of ethnic facial examples is the greatest strength of the book.
