Drawn to drawing

February 11, 2009

Here’s why I think drawing is awesome:

1. You can draw anywhere—with sketchpad you don’t even need a surface to work on
2. There’s no set up
3. There’s no clean up (all play and no work, how great is that)
4. There’s no drying time
5. The materials and supplies are inexpensive (especially compared to brushes and paints)
6. You can work in color—ah, the joy of painting with colored pencils.

If you like drawing, too, I recommend these books to help you develop your skills:

The Drawing Bible by Craig Nelson

Drawing with Your Artist’s Brain by Carl Purcell

Drawing for the Absolute Beginner by Mark and Mary Willenbrink

Basic Colored Pencil Techinques by Bet Borgeson
