[NetBehaviour] Learn To Draw

[TOM CORBY]

I draw a lot. I mean everyday (especially at the moment). I thank god for the 2 year art foundation course that put me through life drawing boot camp. It was the best educational experience I've ever had. 
I do believe that some people have more drawing ability  than others, but it can be taught as a skill of observation and mark-making. Anyone can learn to draw proficiently and it used to be a commonplace skill taught at school. 
Best book on the subject if you want to start drawing is:The Complete Drawing Course by John Raynes.
It's better than "Drawing on the Left Side of the Brain" IMHO in terms of direct project work to get you going, but it doesn't cover the theoretical aspects of drawing as perceptual process. The 2 together would be an ideal starting point but be warned that Drawing on the left side is actually 2 separate books with book 2 being a series of exercises.
Not a learning to draw site but a very nice community:http://www.urbansketchers.org/
all the best

Are there any sites or projects for learning to draw like the learning
to code resources we were discussing recently?
