MORE ART BASICS - YES, BUT CAN YOU DRAW?
This is another in a series of articles I am writing here on Suite101 regarding the fundamentals of the visual arts. This time I give you links to great drawings, and also discuss some of the excellent books I have on teaching oneself to draw. Of course, it's always best to take a real live class from a real art instructor, with other live art students, for critiques, if nothing else. Nevertheless, these books are good resources, and very useful even if you do already know how to look and to draw.
