The Art of Crayon: Draw, Color, Resist, Sculpt, Carvae! - 01


This is wonderful book for those who use crayons, or those who are interested to pick up drawing with crayons.

This 160-page paperback features some rather amazing artworks that were created with crayons. There are artworks drawn with crayons, sculptures made with crayons and cravings of crayons. What I like about this book are the surprises at how crayon is used. It's not just used for drawing on paper or canvas. It really shows of the potential of this medium, and the creativity of the artists who use them.

To see the type of art that can be drawn or made with crayon is worth the price of this book alone. And there's a huge variety of work to check out.

Highly recommended.
