Library Journal Review

Forget what you remember about crayons from childhood. The medium has advanced significantly, with more vibrant colors deploying denser pigments and water soluble or blendable oil options. Forsberg, an animator and illustrator, is a crayon expert. Her fun, playful, and unexpectedly painterly style fills the pages of this guide. Color science basics are briefly explained along with notes about materials and instructions for packing a simple take-along kit. Ten step-by-step exercises guide the reader through creating colorful drawings of everyday objects and surroundings such as foods, furniture at home, clothing, plants, gardens, and pets. Techniques including layering, pressure, blending, and resistance are explained. VERDICT This book can help readers of all artistic skill levels get more out of this portable and user-friendly medium. © Copyright 2017.
