Features: This series is light-hearted and lively, designed for friends who enjoy casual drawing and doodling. We aim to cultivate readers' appreciation and sensitivity to art, enrich their perspectives, and teach them various ways to capture meaningful moments in life. At the same time, we hope to spread the principles and techniques of art through this series, allowing art to truly integrate into daily life. Pastels can be used like pencils or charcoal to draw with lines and colors directly, or like watercolors or oils to layer and blend colors, making them perfect for recording the diverse experiences of travel! Drawing was originally a part of human nature. As early as ancient times, humans used natural dyes to paint on cave walls, leaving traces of their lives. The desire to convey emotions and sustain life through depicting what they saw and experienced has been universal throughout history. However, as people grow and undergo the "civilizing process," these desires are often suppressed or buried, and it seems as if people have forgotten that drawing is, in fact, a natural way to express emotions and document life. The publication of this series is an effort to reignite people's natural desire for drawing, bring them closer to art, and seamlessly integrate it into their lives, allowing them to become more mindful of the world's details. Later, you will discover that the world is full of beauty, and everything is fascinating and rich!
To help readers easily enter the world of drawing, we start with the basic understanding of color, introduce brush techniques in a simple and clear manner, and select common, adorable objects from daily life as the main subjects of this book. Through clear step-by-step explanations, we aim to enable readers to quickly grasp the essentials of drawing and no longer feel that it is distant from them.
