Drawing in Black & White is a clever drawing and design book that contains over 30 inspiring exercises along with 16 black, gray, and tan pages for drawing, doodling, and experimenting. You'll find lessons on drawing, pattern drawing, drawing with cut paper, and simple collage. Learn to see your drawings a new way by drawing in black and white!
