Inhaltsangabe

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, which can be easily followed by anyone. 

The tutorials, originally called Lessons in Simplified Drawing, take Hokusai’s characterful drawings of everything from swooping cranes to cherry blossom trees, butterflies to figures, and break them down into simple geometric shapes. Hokusai demonstrates with simple visuals that even detailed drawings can be easily recreated using this method. 

Historically and culturally significant, How to Draw Like Hokusai celebrates this perennially popular artist’s iconic work and allows art fans the opportunity to recreate a little of the magic for themselves.
