Drawing Anything with One Pencil - Mano’s Realistic Pencil Sketching
Manoj "Mano" Mantri, a popular lecturer at the Nakano Dessin School in Tokyo, is known for his unique and easy-to-understand teaching style that consists in using one pencil to calculate the proportions and perspective of an object and then transfer them to paper.
With this book you will learn his technique from the basics, starting by practicing cubes, cylinders, cones, and spheres, then learning shading and trying your hand at still life to understand different textures. Once you become comfortable, you will tackle more advanced themes such as animals, hands, people, and landscapes.
