In this innovative guide, master art instructor William Maughan demonstrates how to create a realistic human likeness by using the classic and highly accurate modelling technique of chiaroscuro developed by Leonardo daVinci during the High Renaissance. Maughan first introduces readers to the basics of this centuries-old technique, showing how to analyse form, light and shadow; use dark pencil, white pencil and toned paper to create full range of values; use the elements of design to enhance likeness; and capture a sitter's gestures and proportions. He then demonstrates, step by step, how to draw each facial feature, develop visual awareness and render the head in colour with soft pastels.

4.0 out of 5 based on 1 reviews. 4 of 5 Stars! – Customer review on 17/03/2010

This is a lovely book. Its great just from the point of view of how much time you can spend browsing his wonderfully drawn pictures. And as someone who is currently teaching myself to draw and who already owns quite a few art books, I have found plenty of new and very useful tips in this book. He does not cover all perspectives of drawing the head so the text is not completely comprehensive, but there is plenty in the book to keep you busy. His chapter on creating fantastical images by combining human and animal features is very interesting.
