Summary:

Celebrated for his dramatic and beautiful prints such as Under the Wave off Kanagawa and Fine Wind, Clear Morning, Hokusai also applied his phenomenal artistic skill to creating a series of drawing lessons that capture the beauty and style of his art, yet can be easily followed by anyone.

His first volume of these tutorials, originally called Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing, has now been distilled into this easy-to-follow book. Now with additional step-by-step stages, it has never been simpler to emulate the artistic style of a great master.

Learn to draw over 60 different animals, figures and objects, from swooping cranes to cherry blossom trees, and butterflies to people. By breaking each subject down into simple lines and shapes, How to Draw Like Hokusai demonstrates with clear steps that even detailed drawings can be easily recreated.
