在2011年,继惊人的全球范围内获得成功的Sketching,销量超过六万本的两年里,作者Koos Eissen和Roselien Steur首次在前传里分享手绘基础。事实上,前传将是一个新书的更好的名字,因为它的目的是针对新手设计师。而且向你展示了如何绘制草图各方面的形状和形式,更像是工具书,本书带来更详细的解释,引导读者的手,带领他一步一步通过所有来自各方面的手绘问题。

本书释义清晰全面,采用循序渐进的插图,例子和技巧。你将学习使用不同的技术和掌握和如何应用在设计过程中。

它对于刚接触手绘的人是一本完美的书,比如对于艺术与设计第一学年的学生,或者那些希望巩固自己手绘基础的人;它是一种简单而有效的学习方式，所有你曾经想要知道,但从来没有为你解释过得问题将会得到解答（译By：Scatkevin）。

（EN介绍）In 2011, following the phenomenal global success of Sketching, which has sold over sixty thousand copies in two years, authors Koos Eissen and Roselien Steur debut the sequel entitled Sketching: The Basics. In fact, prequel would be a better word for this new book, since it is aimed towards the novice designer. Whereas Sketching shows you how to draw various aspects of shape and form, and serves more as a reference book, The Basics explains things in more detail, taking the reader by the hand and guiding him step by step through all the various aspects of drawing that novice designers come up against.

The Basics explains the rudiments of learning to draw both clearly and comprehensively, using step-by-step illustrations, examples, and strategies. You will learn to use and master the different techniques and also how to apply sketches in the design process.

It is the perfect book for those just starting out in sketching, for the first years of art and design courses, and for those who wish to revise the basics of good sketching; it is a simple and efficient way of learning all you've ever wanted to know but have never had explained to you.
