Drawing Mentor 11, Still Life Drawing

Anyone can draw; all it takes is a pencil, paper and a little practice. The Drawing Mentor series of books breaks down drawing into simple easy to understand subjects. Each lesson is filled with detailed explanations, examples and exercises.

Volume 11 is a more advanced lesson that uses skills developed in previous lessons to do a finished still life drawing. This lesson explains what a still life is and things to consider when attempting one. A detailed example with step by step instructions then guides you to complete your own still life drawing. (Note: This lesson assumes you have already developed some basic fundamental drawing skills. Before attempting this lesson it is recommended that you first learn and understand sketching and layout, and how to apply tone, shading, and highlights. If you have not developed these skills please refer to previous volumes.)

For those just learning to draw, we recommend starting at the beginning of the series, if you’ve already developed fundamental drawing skills the later lessons with their more advanced step by step projects may be more appropriate. There are currently 16 books in the Drawing Mentor series with subjects ranging from simple lines and 3D shapes, to realistic portrait drawing and dragons.

We hope that the lessons, examples and practice exercises in the Drawing Mentor books will give you the foundation you need to be able to draw anything you can see or imagine.
