My Rating:
This wonderful book is written by artist J.D. Hillberry, and features many of his own realistic drawings. Many artists do not share their techniques, but in this book you can see step by step how he creates his amazing art work. he shows how he uses a combination of graphite and charcoal to create drawings that look real enough to fool the viewer. This books is good for beginners because he does provide lots of general information. This includes telling you the supplies you will need to get started, how to render proper tonal values, and how light affects texture. he has a whole chapter crammed full of tips and techniques so you can use your supplies properly. This includes, how to keep you drawings clean, how to blend and combine graphite and charcoal, and more.

Drawing Realistic Textures in Pencil - By: J.D. Hillberry

 

 

 

 

 

Next, he moves on to the step by step demonstrations that illustrate how to create realistic objects. These demonstrations are very detailed, even telling the precise grade of graphite he used. You get to see the drawings form first sketch to finished artwork. First he demonstrates ho to draw metal. there are two examples of this, one for old, pitted metal, and one for reflective metal. Next he talks about drawing people, and covers everything he does to create a realistic drawing of a person. he goes into detail explaining how t realistically draw the individual facial features. Other objects he covers are glass, wood, leather,clothing, and fur. Each of these materials is seen from start to finish in one or two drawing demonstrations.

I highly recommend that you add this book to your library. Not only does it provide a wealth of information, but it is also fun to just look at. It is great to flip through and see how this great artist creates his work. How nice that he wrote this book to give everyone else a chance to take advantage of his experience. If you really want to create realism in your pencil drawings, this book will help you do it.
