Review :
In her new book, 10 Step Drawing: Everyday Things, artist, illustrator and graphic designer, Justine Lecouffe shows us how to make regular drawing practice fun by using ten steps to turn 60 simple shapes into everyday items. From bedside alarm clocks, cooking utensils and sunglases to perfume bottles, sun hats and running shoes, there's a new subject everywhere you turn.
A truly lovely book, sturdy cover with good quality paper pages, so its very tactile to touch. I am trying to keep a sketchbook, a complete novice but with this book my drawing has improved and I have gained confidence. My grandson aged five also joined in and his attempts were impressive following the steps. I may explore other books in the series.
