"The Effortless Drawing Method is a practice in letting go," said Justin Jackson, managing director of Artists Solutions and author of the book Effortless Drawing. "Artists often get stymied by too much information from their teachers and the world in general. This kit teaches artists how to drop their mental burdens – and their teachers' advice – which allows them to create inhibited. This usually leads to artists creating their best work."
One of the most popular chapters in the Effortless Drawing ebook is titled "Trust Yourself." Harkening back to Ralph Waldo Emerson's essay on self-reliance, Jackson reminds budding artists that the greatest creators where the heretics who stuck to their own vision. He reminds students that art books and techniques were created only to explain the art that had already existed.
Also included in the easy-to-read ebook are chapters explaining the basics of how to use the materials in the Artists Solutions Beginner's Drawing and Sketching Pencil Set.
Launched last week, the Artists Solutions Beginner's Drawing and Sketching Pencil Set has already climbed to #26 on Amazon's Best Sellers List for Art Sets and garnered six 5-star reviews. It includes the "Effortless Drawing" ebook, graphite pencils, charcoal pencils, pastels and a sharper. It sells for $11.97.
