He advocates a fresh way of looking closely at your subject and enlisting an emotional response, in order to fully appreciate the nature of what you are about to draw. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eYou will learn that whatever you are drawing, it is essential not only to copy its outline but also to ask yourself: is it soft, smooth or rough to the touch? How heavy is it? Is it fragile or solid? Then, having grasped the fundamental characteristics, or zen, of the object, make corresponding marks on the paper - crisp textures, a dense wash, a scratchy or floating line. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe chapters cover: keeping a sketchbook; tools (pen, pencil, charcoal, watercolour and iPad); perspective; line and volume; tone and texture; structure and weight; movement and rhythm; energy, balance and composition.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePeter Parr founded the BA (Hons) Animation Course at The Arts University at Bournemouth (AUB) and is Professor Emeritus in Animation there.
