Yesterday I encouraged you to take up a hobby. If you haven’t decided on one yet, I recommend drawing. You may be terrified or at least put off by the idea of taking up drawing. It’s ok. Many people feel that way. To help you, here’s some good links to get you thinking at least of taking up drawing.
- How to Start Drawing
- A quick beginner’s guide to drawing – Ralph Ammer
- How to Draw in Six Steps – The New York Times
- How to Draw a Self-Portrait – The New York Times
Lots of good advice there in those links. As for books, I highly recommend the book above. It is superb. It can be hard to find, but these folks seem to have it.
