What will I learn from EQ5 Drawing?
This is the
perfect book for beginners who don't know what or how to draw, as
well as designers and teachers wanting to publish or be
published.
This is the book
you've been asking for. Patti Anderson reveals all her drawing
secrets, teaching you the tricks the experts, whose EQ5 designs get
published in books and magazines, know. You'll master EQ5's powerful
drawing tools, creating blocks you've admired in magazines and quilt
shows but never dreamed you'd be able to draw.
Starting with
the basics, Patti explains do's and don'ts, and presents dozens of
time-saving tips. You'll not only learn to look at a favorite block
design and redraw it in EQ5. Patti's easy-to-do lessons will
actually free you to create your own original designs.
Patti begins
with CH.1 "Basic Block Drawing". She teaches you the basic
skills and tools you'll need to draw blocks such as:
Once you master the LeMoyne star you can
transform it into other designs, such as this Nosegay. Each
block you draw is shown with suggestions for variations, so
you can build a new library of block
patterns.
