Sketch Book for the Artist

Covering a wide range of themes from portraits to plant studies and still life, and showing how to tackle each subject in a variety of different ways, the Sketch Book for the Artist aims to widen the reader's understanding of drawing and to inspire them to pick up a pencil and draw. Alongside drawings by famous artists, the book uses the author's own sketch book as a way to examine attitudes and demonstrate specific techniques.

Sarah Simblet is the author of the highly acclaimed Anatomy for the Artist. She teaches at the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art in Oxford, England, and her work is highly regarded and held in many national and private collections around the world.
