This is An inspirational, instructional and visually stimulating guide to sketching and drawing, filled with practical tips about which materials to use, a variety of subject matter ranging from easy to more challenging, and wisdom about overcoming creative blocks and fear of making mistakes.

Illustration is applied imagination. But this book is not only about illustration, though it does contain illustrationsΓÇölots of them. But thereΓÇÖs more. This book examines the profession of illustrator, from the vexing subject of money to the question of the right workplace. How do you get commissions? How do you negotiate successfully? WhatΓÇÖs a fair price? How do you handle the everyday routines involved in illustration work? And, of course, it presents a wide variety of illustra- tion techniques. In short, it makes an effort to enlighten, be useful and answer as many questions as possible. Its author does so, on the one hand, by offering more than twenty really useful tips for budding illustratorsΓÇöfor example, how to stop the fear that a blank page often inspiresΓÇöand, on the other, by presenting the twenty-five most important illustration techniques in a practical way that awakens the readerΓÇÖs desire to learn more. As a parallel narrative accompanying the humorous texts, there are images by very different illustrators who work with a wide variety of techniques and styles. These pictures are diverse yet easy to compare, because they all show the same thing: a bird.
