René Aigner's Sketchbook

[ReneAigner]

thanks so much!


I hardly get any spare time these days. But when I do... I practice drawing nature with J.D. Harding's "Drawing Trees and Nature". It is an exceptional book- the language is antiquated (it is a victorian-era text book after all), but the content is well worth the effort- both the lessons and the excellent plates. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to learn how to draw Nature in pencil. What I'm doing here is copying Harding's drawings of trees and trunks. This is the process recommended by Harding: first copy the drawings to understand the means with which one can endeavour to draw foliage and such, and then, once those methods have been learned, turn to nature.
