Drawing has always been a fundamental skill and good drawing skills
allowed artists to grasp the reality around them. At the turn of the
millennium, however, the general impression was that with the wide
availability of computers, scanners, digital cameras and image software,
drawing would dwindle into a marginal activity. In fact, the opposite
happened: the enthusiasm for digital imagery died down and the ability
to draw has become a treasured skill.

In the art world, attitudes
to drawing have also changed. Drawing became a way of making a
statement as an artist, of showing masterly skill – something that up to
then had been most commonly associated with painting. After centuries
in the shadow of its more illustrious fine art relatives, drawing
started to be appreciated for its own sake, as an art discipline, an end
in itself, an art form.

Walk the Line: The Art of Drawing includes interviews with the international selection of artists, as
well as examples of their work. It will appeal to anyone interested in
contemporary art and illustration.
