Whether by positive or negative example, there is something to be learned from all of them. (The Drawings of Heinrich Kley, while not actually a how-to book, never fails to get me jump-started)<br />At the other end, I suggest tracking down one of the text books from the old Famous Artist’s Schools, and following the advice “you learn to draw by drawing”. Well, now that I’ve given it away, you don’t even need to find the book! That and “you learn to paint by painting” are still the best advice I’ve ever found.John Farnsworthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07472587731531591916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-36770332190145776652010-09-23T04:22:23.179+00:002010-09-23T04:22:23.179+00:00another two that i really liked as a beginner are ...another two that i really liked as a beginner are - nick meglin's - drawing from within and sheldon borenstein's - see, feel, trace, draw it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
