Lifelike Drawing with Lee Hammond

Lifelike Drawing with Lee Hammond by Lee Hammond, 3/5

I learned how to draw realistic pencil portraits many years ago from Lee Hammond’s Draw Real Animals!, but pulled this book off the shelf for reference when struggling with the background for a recent project (see below). Realizing afterwards that I likely had never actually read this through before, I decided to do so and did glean a couple of helpful tips that either were not in her other book or I had just forgotten over the years.
