SketchUp Video Tutorials
Google’s free 3D drawing program, SketchUp is a great tool. I played with it when they first released it after buying the original creators, making it free and integrating it into Google Earth . It basically lets you build your own 3d models and place them into Google Earth.
Today I came across this great resource by the author of the Sketch Up for Dummies book, it’s 62 video tutorials on YouTube for how to use the program. Here goes my weekend.
All thanks to Aidan Chopra who wrote the dummies book!
Free Figure Drawing Instruction Books
There’s a great post over at ProcessJunkie , with a very good selection of figure drawing instruction books .
Great thing about it is that he links to free pdfs/ebooks of all the titles discussed.
Definitely worth a look , and download the ones you think you may read. I downloaded them all just to have as a reference, I have a few of them from my college days, but it’s lovely to have them available as pdfs as well.
Parts of a Whole
Parts are parts of a whole, forget features and then remember them later, to finish.
Get the gesture, the feel, the shape, lots is revealed by the entirety.
