"From an upbeat, lighthearted point of view, this workbook, written by working artist and art educator Davenport, encourages readers to get in touch with their creativity through drawing female faces in whimsical styles. The guide first provides a lengthier than average discussion of a wide variety of art materials, then plunges into easy to follow, step-by-step exercises. Individual steps are numbered and text is used to describe in detail the action of the pencil, pen, or brush. Davenport uses her fashion illustration background as a jumping-off point. Simplified styles of drawing prevail, but the author still takes on anatomy and underlying facial structure, explaining how to represent them convincingly in two dimensions. Sections on mixed media and collage offer advice for the reader on spontaneity. VERDICT Younger readers, especially teen girls, will enjoy this book most." - Library Journal, "For anyone who has longed to draw faces, Drawing and Painting Beautiful Faces by Jane Davenport will make your dreams a reality. Full of step-by-step exercises, this finely crafted book will help you create dramatic eyes, lighting, hair, and more. Discover all of Davenport's favorite materials for creating mixed-media portraits, as well as when and how she uses them. The most difficult part of drawing faces is balancing and placing features, but Davenport offers guidelines to format any face, even when tilted or angled. You will be creating dramatic mixed-media portraits by the end of this book." - Cloth Paper Scissors

    Jane breaks it down!

    This book is definitely for the beginner artist who yearns to learn how to draw faces. The instructions are clear and easy. She illustrates exactly how to draw every feature and shows different options that the artist can tweak or use as illustrated. She shows multiple eyes, noses, lips etc. If you are looking for a very easy beginners book or want to switch it up and draw something fun, this is the book you’ll want.

    Best book for the Whimsical Look Your Looking For!

    It exactly what I was looking for to help me with my whimsical drawings. It is going to be the best teacher for me. Love Jane Davenport. She is awesome and so is her book. This book is loaded with such great ways and ideas that it would be hard to not learn and experiment with your paints and more. I am very happy with my purchase and you won't be disappointed either.
