Sketching is more popular than ever, but busy lives leave almost no room for sitting down with a pad and pen, and practicing. Many people give up on their potential hobby (and artistic outlet) because they feel they just don’t have the time to lay the groundwork. Here’s a secret though: you do have time each day to practice, you just need to incorporate sketching into your daily life. Sketch Now, Think Later covers the tools, techniques and tips that author and Urban Sketching Correspondent of Boston Mike Daikubara has developed in his more than 15 years as a practicing artist, and will show you how to fully dive into any sketching situation with limited time and tools, and still be able to produce memorable, great looking, fun sketches!

Capture with stunning life, movement, and accuracy a vast array of mammals, reptiles, birds, fish, and insects!

Embark on a journey of discovery that will help you develop the skills, techniques, and knowledge needed to sketch a broad range of wildlife—from mammals and reptiles to birds, fish, and insects. Inside, you’ll find quick, gestural sketches and more in-depth studies in a variety of media (pencil, pen and ink, and watercolor); guidance on representing different coat patterns and markings (like the plumage of exotic birds or hippos’ hooves); and information on tools, materials, and basic drawing techniques.

The Complete Color Harmony: Pantone Edition is the latest in Rockport Publishers' best-selling Color series. This edition has been completely revised from start to finish, and now features new text by Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute.

This edition includes information on creating special effects, as well as an entirely new section devoted to the psychology of color. Eiseman helps readers determine their best color choices and suggests why some colors may inspire their creativity while others don't.

Painting & Drawing Books: Build Your Skills, Find Your Style

The right book can change how you see and how you draw. DeSerres carries a broad selection of painting and drawing books covering figure drawing, portraiture, perspective, composition, botanical illustration, gouache, watercolour, mandalas, and colouring. Whether you're working through the fundamentals or exploring a specific subject, you'll find titles that meet you where you are and push you further.

From Technical Foundations to Personal Expression

Some artists come to these books for structure: exercises on proportion, colour mixing references, step-by-step tutorials on drawing the human body or rendering trees. Others are looking for inspiration, a new subject to explore, a style they haven't tried. The best painting and drawing books do both — they give you the tools and leave room for your own voice to come through. Browse our Painting & Drawing and Fine Arts & Hobby Books.
