Summary

Do you want to express yourself through art but don’t know where to begin? Are you looking to improve your skills as an artist so that you can rise to a master level?

As a beginning artist, it can be discouraging to look down at your work and not feel pleased by what you see. You have great ideas and breakthrough designs in mind, but knowing where to start can be daunting. It’s time to overcome those roadblocks and start expressing your creative ideas. In this book, you’ll learn how to create realistic portraits, figures, landscapes, animals, and still-life. Step-by-step details on dimensions, depth, and light will take you from a beginner’s level to one step closer to mastery. Salma Adi is passionate about getting you where you want to be as an artist and not only teaches you how to draw but leads you on a journey to self-discovery through art. Her goal is to help you get what you have to say—or show—out to your audience, and with the proper tools and guidance, you can do just that.

A few things to look forward to:

  • Learn master-level secrets and fundamental techniques so that you can see and think like an artist.
  • Turn your lines and shapes into shaded, detailed portraits using the tools and illusions you find in professional art projects.
  • Utilize elements of drawing and sketching to express yourself.
  • Get to know yourself better through art and align your creative expression with your authenticity.
  • Discover the message you want to share and a new and exciting life purpose.

It’s time to remember that creating art is a natural part of who you are. It is a way to share your voice, heal, and understand the world around you. It takes practice, time, and guidance to reach that level of intimacy with your art, and if you provide the effort, then this book will provide the rest. Join Salma on your journey to self-expression, creativity, and betterment of your artistic abilities.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Hey! I can draw!

I've always wanted to draw but I've never been good at it and I thought you had to be born with the talent. This book breaks it down into easy steps so that anyone can pick it up, and the audiobook comes with a free PDF download of the book so you can follow along with the exercises. Some of the dimension and shading tips have already helped my drawings emerge from flatness. By focusing on self-expression over results, I feel freer to experiment rather than worry about being perfect. Overall it's a great resource for someone who is new like me.

Comprehensive overview

It’s been a few years since I’ve sat down and drew anything and this audiobook was the guide I needed to do it. It was as if I had a teacher in the room with me and im so appreciative of the level of detail helping me express myself! The techniques shared were absolutely critical!

Don't forget to check out the free PDF with exercises for you to practice and implement the strategies right away!

A great resource for beginners!

This is a great resource for a novice like me! I've always been interested in learning how to draw, but it's scary trying to figure out where to start. This book is great to accompany you in your journey, as it teaches you how to think like an artist and truly express yourself. The instructions are easy to understand and follow and a great resource to build up your artistic skills.

Simplifying drawing

I loved this book.
I picked it up originally because my cousin is an artist and I wanted to understand a little bit more about her passion.

I was not disappointed with this book, as it’s now inspired me to practice a little more drawing as a form of relaxation and even expressing what’s in my mind which sometimes words can’t describe.

The authors really did well to break down the steps so you felt like you know what you were doing,

Highly recommend,

Enjoyable Accompliment To A Brilliant Book

After getting used to the narrator's delightful and unqiue accent of saying "dawring"...I really enjoyed this audio along with the book. Been handy to have whilst re-reading the book on kindle to help me concentrate in a busy household. I originally got the book on free trial and I was so impressed I brought a copy! Selma has a very unique and nurturing apprach to help people start up or re-begin drawing again. Every paragraph gets you thinking differently about art, even questioning why you create art...but the book remains supportive through out with a 'no right or wrong way' of doing things. You are free to be you in your choice of topics and the media you choose to work with. The book primarily works in pencil but encourages the same exercises in other mediums too, though there is no pressure to use anything you don't want to. You are not frowned upon if you only ever use a bog standard HB pencil either I've found her book very supportive for the times I've come back to the drawing board after a break with no idea what I'm supposed to be doing - Selma's book has helped me back on track on more than one occasion. Portraits are a topic I dread but Selma's book helped me to try it for the first time and it went really well! If the audio is not for you I would encourage at least to purchase the book on kindle to try it out and focus on what's being said rather than the lack of colour photographs. I have many books that come and go after use, but I'm keeping this one! I'm even considering getting a hard copy too incase I can't access the digital or audio for any reason which is a first for me!

Perfect art therapy

I have always looked at art as a skill which belongs to certain people. This audiobook says that art and the ability to draw are neither a talent nor a skill. The ability to draw comes from your heart, desire, time and effort.

This book not only gives positive encouragement to explore your abilities, it provides an opportunity for one to make a significant shift in their lives through drawing, which can significantly impact your mental health and well-being. The author shares their experience to make others' journeys easier. Great opportunity here to learn a life skill and express yourself and your emotions. Very recommended.

Add Depth, Meaning, and Dimension to Your Art

I’ve been a doodler my whole life and really enjoyed drawing. I even took a few classes in college to help me with my art. Recently, I wanted to pick up the pencil again and dive into my art as a creative outlet. I came across this book and thought it could help me doodle mindlessly and have a purpose and confidence in my art. And this book did not disappoint!

This book is really helpful! It helped me understand that great artistry is about natural talent, reps, and practice. And it helped me tie into my natural artistic self that existed when I was a child.

It was so helpful to me, giving me the confidence to draw complex things like Portraits, Animals, landscapes, shadows, depth, and so much more. The most impactful chapter for me was the chapter on Depth! Depth has always been difficult for me until now.

One of the best parts of this audiobook is that you don't have to follow the instructions by ear; there's a PDF attached to help make it an audio-visual experience that can't be beat!
