The World of My Illustrations By Ravi Paranjapa

Senior artist Maruti Patil, after having many awards to his credit still loves sketching. Here he shares his thoughts and working methods of sketching and drawing the human figure, a subject most budding artists  find challenging. It helps one to understand various ways of sketching like time-sketch, quick-sketch, etc. In addition, the artist shares some different ways of using pencil, pastels and bow-pen. His experience as a teacher for more than 40 years makes his advice useful for everyone who loves sketching and figure drawing.

This inspiring book does away with lengthy explanations of techniques. Instead, Kamath has been successful in presenting a wide variety of his work which itself is an able guide. Although pencil sketches dominate, the book also has quick colour sketches and Kamath’s self-portrait too. It is a must-have on any art enthusiast’s book shelf.

 

This book contains various methods and techniques of picture making with the help of a graphite pencil. There are instructions on how to use the modern types of graphite pencils. The picture gallery features a variety of subjects.
