This book is written for people who: - Want to draw but can't get up the courage to do it- Are curious, adventurous and spirited- Want to understand the rules for drawing- Would like to create something newSeek new experiencesDrawing is a uniquely human activity. Some people start doodling when they are on the phone. This involves rather instinctive hand movements that result in spontaneous shapes and patterns. These shapes happen to be the basic elements of drawing. Drawing however is mainly a conscious and intentional representation of attentively observed scenarios. It enables you to depict an area, a landscape, scene or object. Everything that is conveyed this way must be translated into a visual language. This can only be achieved by way of abstraction real life things. Thus a straight line becomes a horizon, a mast or a direction, depending on how this line is graphically presented. Drawing creates symbols. The invention of signs and symbols allowed humans to develop a world of communication tools. These symbols and signs are standing for real life objects, concepts or impressions.
