In this companion volume to his highly successful The Fundamentals of Drawing, Barrington Barber takes the aspiring artist one step further in the quest for greater skill and competence. If you have come this far on the journey with him you will know that the more you practise the more visual surprises you are presented with and the more problems there are to be overcome. In Advanced Drawing Skills you will be shown how to find solutions to these challenges through the application of more advanced techniques and the greater awareness that comes with closer study of a subject. You will also be encouraged to develop further your perception of the visual world to enable you to express emotions and ideas in your own work and to retain information for future use.

Once you have absorbed the many techniques and approaches presented here, you will find your understanding and appreciation of the world around you opening up to reveal new possibilities.
