...if you're willing to read all this text. Oy...The New York Times on line is featuring a weekly drawing lesson from illustrator James McMullan:
1. Getting Back to The Phantom Skill: the joy of drawing
2. The Frisbee of Art: the importance of the ellipse
3. Hatching the Pot: modeling with hatching
4. The Beagle Vanishes: 1, 2, and 3 point perspective
5. Mother Nature Decoded: seeing nature as a construct of its smaller elements
I had to draw a dinosaur on the dry erase board last week while teaching my freshmen (it was pertinent, trust me) and I noticed the looks on their faces and stuttered, a little too defensively, "What? I do video. I don't have to draw well. And you can still tell it's a dinosaur."
