Review:
To think that a simple lead pencil and a piece of paper can mutate into a hovering hawk, eyes searching the ground for prey; a pendulous
abutilon bloom hanging weightless from an imaginary thread;cartwheel of corks which suddenly becomes an elephant; an ice cream
cone thinly disguised as the horn of a young antelope. It has to be magic? But it's not! Katie Lee is one of those rare magicians who
shows you how it's done! What a gem of a book this is, and what a generous teacher. Step by step by meticulous step, she leads you down
the pencil pathway through a world of lines, squares, circles and cylinders, cubes, tubes, pistils and petals. Through shading,
hatching, tracing, erasing - all the while sharing secrets, sharing experience, and showing you what spectacular images she has created
with such a humble instrument. This teacher is a master of her own subject. She is never prescriptive, ever patient.
Her range of subject matter is prodigious, as is her knowledge of the anatomy of any subject she engages with - plant, insect, mammal or mollusk.
This book is, truly, a beautiful guide to the gentle art of drawing.
