Katsushika Hokusai spent decades as one of Japan's greatest artists, and a lesser-known part of his legacy is a series of drawing tutorials he created for students. This book draws from that original work, originally titled Quick Lessons in Simplified Drawing, distilling his methods into over 60 step-by-step lessons covering animals, figures, and objects including cranes, butterflies, cherry blossom trees, birds, fish, and flowers. Each subject is broken down into simple lines and shapes, making his detailed, elegant style genuinely accessible to beginners and experienced artists alike. There is, as the cover reminds you, so much more to Hokusai than ocean waves.
