About this ebook
This book will teach you how accurately sketch simple and complex shapes in seconds.
There are two methods: 1) using basic shapes (square, triangle and circle), 2) using polygons. Both methods are complementary. They can be used alone or together.
These are absolutely essential skill sets for the artist. If you already paint or draw, these exercises will help you clarify your skill sets and speed them up.
