Om denne bog
A bold new edition of the groundbreaking book by two of America's most prominent visual artists, James Gurney (Dinotopia, Color and Light), and Thomas Kinkade, freshly updated with a new introduction, archival photographs, and illuminating text to guide a new generation of illustrators. 

"If I could only have one drawing book on my shelf, it would be this one." –Shari Blaukopf, author of the Urban Sketching Handbook: Working With Color

Since its release in 1982, The Artist’s Guide to Sketching has become a classic art guide for students and laypeople around the world. The book includes instruction and artwork by James Gurney and Thomas Kinkade—two students who would go on to fame with Dinotopia (Gurney) and as the “Painter of Light” (Kinkade). This new edition restores the classic text with updated full-color visuals and a special section chronicling the book’s origins and the friendship, drawing on archives from Gurney and the Kinkade family estate.
