The bestselling classic updated and revised for a new generation
Portable, inexpensive, extremely versatile, and deceptively simple in design, the pencil,
in the trained hand, gives rise to a veritably limitless array of strokes, contours, tones,
and textures. For a quarter century, artists, architects, designers, and dabblers in the
graphic arts have turned to Thomas Wang.s bestselling classic (100,000 copies sold) for
their basic training in the art and science of pencil sketching. That.s because no other
book covers so thoroughly, or with such clarity, economy, and grace the full spectrum of
rudimentary and advanced pencil sketching techniques, from the basics of how to hold
a pencil to the elements of composition, texture, line weight, and shading. Featuring
nearly all new illustrations, and a valuable new chapter on sketching from memory. Pencil
Sketching, Second Edition is sure to be the guide of choice for the next several generations
of professionals and students. Thomas Wang, MLA, ASLA (Lincoln, MA), is principal of Wang
Associates International, a consulting firm specializing in landscape architecture and urban
planning and design. He has taught at the University of Michigan and Harvard Graduate School
