The Art of the Line in Drawing: A Step-by-Step Guide to Creating Simple, Expressive Drawings by Frédéric Forest
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Here’s another really unusual book if you’re working on sketching like I am. Unlike many books that focus on how to get every line right and how to create clear and well done sketches, this book focuses on how to create drawings that invoke meaning and a story with the most minimalist lines possible.

It’s a super interesting way to approach sketching and I really loved the authors multiple interpretations of the same scene. He’s clearly an amazing artist and at the same time he was able to make this book really accessible and feel doable for a beginner like me.

Super interesting.

with gratitude to Quarry Books and edelweiss for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review
