An 'Eye-Opener' from a Pro Artist Andrew Herbert Perhaps anyone who can see can learn to draw. But those who learn to draw see more and have much to teach, even to those not aspiring to be drawing pros. I have no interest in being an artist, but I confess to having known Mitch as a railroader and as an artist.

As such, the examples in it are typically such illustrations. But few if a
In this new addition to the Motorbooks Studio series, renowned rail illustrator Mitch Markovitz explains the principles needed to draw steam, diesel, and electric locomotives and their trains. Illustrated throughout with examples of the author's work, this book is the ultimate resource for railfans with an interest in rendering these behemoths of American industry.. This book shows casual doodlers and serious rail artists alike how to capture the magic of these design icons with pencil and paper. From the steam engines th
