N2  - An ingeniously simple drawing approach that joins traditional hand drawing techniques with modern technology

Start creating top-quality drawings faster and more effectively-with Drawing Shortcuts. This book presents practical techniques and applications that will improve your drawing skills and help you produce more accurate sketches by incorporating traditional hand drawing methods with today's technology. Easy-to-follow instructions cover every aspect from the basics of drawing-such as composition, color, shading, shadow, and perspective-up to the most current applications of cameras, copiers, and computers to create and reproduce your work.

This book's step-by-step approach will sharpen and streamline your techniques whether you draw for pleasure or for your profession. Generously enriched with detailed process drawings, examples, and more than 300 full-color images, it features:
* Detailed outlines of drawing methods, from "storyboarding" to the "overlay and trace" method
* Timesaving, end-of-chapter "QuickTips" for easy reference
* Guidelines for building a portfolio
* Pointers on selecting materials and maximizing color potential
