  • A thorough treatment of the subject, lavishly illustrated and easy to follow.

    Review Nathan's book on charcoal drawing exceeded my expectations. Every aspect of the craft is discussed and lavishly illustrated. Nathan, as a teacher with many years of experience, shows the common mistakes that students make and demonstrates how to correct them. Nathan details his tools and paper materials for every drawing and offers a systematic approach for improvement. Lighting, arrangement, composition and experimental exploration come by way of suggestion, rather than being presented as rigid, indispensable principle. The author generously shares a broad sampling of his best work in an astonishing gallery at the back of the book. If you aspire to become a charcoal artist, read this book and immediately start the exercises. You'll be amazed at how quickly your work will improve. (less) flagcomment · see review
