Draw with Confidence: From Basic to Brilliant with David Kitler

Join wildlife artist DAVID N. KITLER and learn his process for capturing accurate likenesses in the wild or in the studio. David has developed a straightforward method for observing and conveying the information critical to successful drawing. Learn to see basic shapes, locate important value shifts, understand the role of different pencil grades, create depth, and so much more. David combines these skills to help you develop a center of interest and to lead the viewer’s eye around your composition. David reviews basic concepts and then demonstrates the entire process by completing a lifelike, fully textured drawing of a ground squirrel.
