Lise Herzog – författare

Author of 365 Days of Drawing.Lise Herzog is an accomplished teacher of pen and pencil skills. Her first work with Firefly is notable for the thoroughness of its easy lessons, progressing from a few simple lines to shading and texture... over 365 days.When it comes to drawing, "practice makes perfect." In 365 Days of Drawing People, Herzog shows how, with a few strokes of the pencil, you can make a simple likeness of infant, toddler, young adult and older people - people with work and age lines in their faces.Then progressively, through the year, make more complex drawings of hands and limbs, faces and hair, and have multiple perspectives of the same person, or drawings of bodies in motion. Each drawing is shown in black on the page, but the days of the year and title of the drawing are in 4-colour, making the book lively and inspiring in its presentation.Better still, like the original 365 Days of Drawing, this new book is very thick, and quarter-bound in real cloth, ressembling a traditional artist's notebook or sketchpad. This feature has been a notable factor in the success of the original book, giving it the look and feel of a costly volume yet presented at an attractive price.
