"Drawing Projects: An Exploration of the Language of Drawing is both a practical guide to drawing and an informative insight into the minds of artists who work with the medium. This comprehensive study of the art of drawing provides both a commentary on leading contemporary practitioners and a 'how to explore drawing' style approach, celebrating drawing as the process of seeing made visible."--P.
