--they are both teachers at art center, so their stuff is premium quality. everything else you need to get it done is hundreds of hours of practice :)

--yeah, for perspective pick up How to Draw by Scott Robertson, and for a good explanation on dynamic sketching there is "dynamic sketching with peter han" on youtube

--Hey Kloidt, just curious, how do you go about gettin' good at perspective and dynamic sketching? Do you have specific exercises or other books that you recommend?
21 Feb 00:34
--I'd say get good at perspective and dynamic sketching first, then learn that proportion chart from loomis with his simple stick skeleton figures with all kinds of poses and angles, then go to Hampton for getting a good structural overview of all the muscles and forms, then do whatever you want to go more into detail. I have all authors but i think those are the best for starting out.

--I say go for all of them, Loomis, Hogarth, Bammes, Bridgman, Vilppu, The russian "fundamentals of drawing book", Hampton, Watts.

--100% Hogarth after a solid understanding of structure & perspective I've found is the bomb

--I love both Figure Drawing for all it's worth and Dynamic Figure Drawing for different reasons. I love Loomis because his interpretation on the subject is so graceful and elegant. Hogarth on the other hand, I love his interpretation, especially when his figures start to move because it is so energetic. One is not better than the other.

--For in-depth anatomy I tend to choose Hogarth myself. His book Dynamic Anatomy: Revised and Expanded is enlightening/informative. Both artists are quite good to learn from, though.

--Hogarth seems better for forms - loomis appears to break it down better - but yes I'm referencing both atm.

--About monitors: Dell Ultra sharp 27 inch 5k will rival any mac of a similar spec. It's only a 1000$ too!

--I'm having a bit of a problem with my photoshop if anyone knows how to fix it. Every time I make a stroke with the brush tool it also functions like the burn tool, so whenever I make multiple strokes the value darkens and the saturation increases instead of capping at my chosen color. Pencil tool works fine, though. Anyone ever had this problem before?

--love the doc! he explains it so straight to the point, great stuff! can't unsee him looking like grumpy cat tho...

--Robert Hughes is a really good author ! If anybody is interested in analysis and the history of modern art, I recommend " the shock of the new " + "the new shock of the new". Charlie Rose had really nice interviews with him on this website, but unfortunately they got deleted

--Sketch, very solid until he drags the left wing movement in there. Why does he think the leftists, a group usually against the elite, would endorse this circle jerk of conceptual art at all? That, my friend, is well deep and rooted into the elites, not the left wing movement. There is another documentary called "the Monalisa curse" that explains exactly how this stupid behavior started, and how money was the greatest motivator, not any kind of political agenda.
