Good Books for Learning How to Draw?
supersheep:
IndieRawk, let's not forget the book on how to be helpful and not annoy everyone and make them howl for your blood.
Napoleon the Clown:
Just ignore him. That's what I'm doing.
TrueNeutral:
Well, originally, THIS: http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html is what taught me how to draw but I have since moved away (mostly) from the manga style.
Napoleon the Clown:
Oooohhh, nice site. That should be quite helpful. Thanks.
I have the sudden overwhelming urge to make a joke regarding your name... Get the fuck off the fence! ;)
m0o0oeh:
It all depends what you want to draw, AFAIK. I've been looking round for some good books on anatomy, and form etc... as I want to try my hand at sculpting, I wanted to find out some of the basic principles, seen as I can't draw for toffee.....
But yeah, if it's humanoid-based things, then I'd recommend a look at Edouard Lanteri's "Modelling and Sculpting The Human Figure". It's an old book - 190something it was first published, but it's been reprinted loads of times... but it's supposed to be one of the best books around for this sort of thing...
The other option is "Human Anatomy For Artists - The Elements Of Form" - another good book, more geared towards trad. artists poss, but I haven't had a good read of it yet TBH.
But yeah, that's all I got...
