[Appendix] Practical! Urban Drawing: "Helpful Tips for Drawing Alone"
Epilogue

Highly recommended for beginners as well as intermediate level users who want to improve their drawing skills!
If you've decided to learn, from essential drawing theory to practical pen drawing works.
Let's learn properly with 『Lini's Pen Drawing Class』, which contains only the essential information.

[Pay attention to this book!]

◆ What if you've thought about drawing hundreds of times?
Let's start with Linnie! "It's okay if it's not perfect."

Why do we paint? We don't paint to become great artists or to be judged by others.
I draw to record the little things in my daily life, to dream of drawing while traveling, and to find joy in relieving the hardships of life.
If that's the case, isn't that mindset enough? This book's author, Leeni (Chaerin Lee), an illustrator and instructor of Class 101's #1 pen drawing class for five consecutive years, published it with the hope that more people will enjoy and be happy drawing.
It's okay if you don't draw it perfectly.
If you enjoy drawing through this book, drawing consistently until the end, your skills will improve and you will feel a sense of satisfaction beyond what you could have imagined.

◆ Have you ever thought, 'Why are my drawings so awkward?'
From line drawing to perspective! A solid drawing theory book.

If you have ever drawn pictures with so much effort, but they seem awkward for some reason, it may be because you don't know the basics of drawing.
Just by knowing the core drawing theories introduced in this book, you will be able to draw anything more naturally, whether it be objects, landscapes, or the human body.
First, we start by drawing lines, which can be considered the beginning and end of the drawing.
Even if you are a beginner or have neglected drawing lines, you should definitely practice before moving on.
Next is the diagram.
Most objects around us can be shaped into flat or three-dimensional figures.
It becomes much easier to draw if you start with geometric shapes like triangles, squares, and circles.
Proportions are also important.
Because even a slight difference from the generally known proportions can make the picture look awkward.
It tells you how to determine the proportions and inclination of the object you want to draw.
In addition, it introduces in detail and in an easy-to-understand way core drawing techniques such as light, shadow, and perspective that naturally express three-dimensionality in drawings.

◆ Are you curious about urban drawing materials and landscape expression methods?
Includes 50 detailed urban drawing materials and landscape expression techniques!

It includes 50 urban drawing materials and landscapes, including simple props, natural objects, streetlights, cars, buildings, and people, so that you can practice drawing them along.
In addition, the explanations and process cuts are organized in great detail so that anyone can complete a plausible work by simply following the steps.
"Huh? This works!? I drew this?" Her detailed pen drawings and easy-to-follow explanations have earned her much love. Reviews of her classes are particularly replete with exclamations like these.
Although it felt difficult, I was amazed at my drawing skills as I completed it without giving up.
Readers of "Lini's Pen Drawing Class" will also feel a growing sense of pride and accomplishment as they draw detailed pen drawings, from small props to travel scenes, and their skills will improve.
