Want to know more about the book? Read on! Because wherever you are in your drawing journey, this book can take you further.

​

Most drawing books teach you how to draw what’s in front of you. Inventive Drawing teaches you how to invent what isn’t.

​

You’ll learn to combine drawing fundamentals with cinematic composition, perspective, lighting and design to build believable worlds with mood, depth and narrative.

​

You’ll discover how to develop ideas with thumbnails, establish mood through shape and proportion, and guide the viewer’s eye using perspective, overlap and value. You’ll also explore natural forms, constructed details and character staging to build environments that support the story.

​

Whether you’re a beginner building a foundation, an intermediate artist ready for more advanced work or an experienced artist looking to strengthen your visual storytelling, you’ll gain practical tools for creating compelling narrative environments for animation, games, illustration and other visual arts.
