It morphed as I believe it is more useful to write in a manner that will help others. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNow walk with me. Those who wish to draw confidently will find that the book has various nuggets of wisdom. I might have learned these the hard way, but you can learn from my hiccups to accelerate towards confidence. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou do not need to own a computer nor even a phone, just plain old pencil and paper will suffice for drawing...but it helps to do so digitally. Tell you why in the first chapter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book detours regularly to show you how I draw using my chosen tools, Microsoft Surface Pro and Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. These are purely my preferences, and my wife would say my indulgence, at the expense of the family coffers. Love you. Smooch. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThanks @StettafireZero from DeviantArt community for the suggestion to write a prologue. It does help to anchor my thoughts and ensure I write for the right learner.

So, my end in mind for this book, is for you to draw so well that someone beside you gets impressed, and asks you how you learned to draw. Shall we begin? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTo draw is to actually see first. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will find the next four chapters mostly about seeing. With your newfound eye, you can then train your hand to draw. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn time, you can learn from the masters, copy their work creatively, see like they do and arrange objects beautifully on your own masterpiece. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTools\u003cbr\u003eA Chinese saying, \"If one wants to be good in a skill, one must sharpen the tools first.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn learning to draw, there are many equipment that you can use. You need to know your options and eventually choose some. I will recommend this Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is simply convenient. No need to stock up on drawing pads, physical sketchbooks, pencils, pens, erasers, nor sharpeners. It runs on Microsoft Surface Pro, iPad, Android phone and even the iPhone  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eNot that I never stocked up on traditional tools. I have loads of those. But eventually found that bringing just one tool really allowed me to travel light. It also suits my drawing habits, near electrical supply and creature comforts.: -P \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eJust to share, I drew with traditional drawing tools and experimented digitally. Started with Paper by Fiftythree on an iPad. Just finger painting. Then bought a simple passive stylus, rubber tipped. Using a stylus afforded more accuracy when doing detailed work. Then an Adonit Jot Pro stylus. Tried other hardware, like my Samsung Android phones, HP touchscreen laptops, HP Envy 27 touchscreen computer, and finally Microsoft Surface Pro. Switched to free trial version of Autodesk Sketchbook. I eventually paid the annual subscription to use the Pro version with unlimited layers and full features. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  Read the book for options on traditional tools, modern hardware \u0026amp; software. ]\u003cbr\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 60\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.16 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 17, 2017\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47460897915133,"sku":"9781515145851","price":27.23,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/zuWNUgXG9j9781515145851.webp?v=1777256418","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/digital-drawing-10-minutes-a-day-commute-and-draw-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
