Recommended literature

beginning drawing

Betty Edwards: Drawing from the right side of the brain.
ISBN: 0874775132
Betty Edwards teaches how to draw by techniques that bypass the left side of the brain (the logical one) and access the right side (creative, subconcious, emotional) one instead. A classic to quickly learn the craft of drawing. Amazing approach that actually works.

anatomy

Sarah Simblet and John Davis: Anatomy for the Artist.
ISBN: 078948045X

Every body partis shown from at least two angles. Great photographs and illustrations. Master classes take existing paintings and stage the body position with a model. If you want to draw the human body right, go get this book!

pastell drawing

Lesley Harrison: Painting animals that touch the heart.
ISBN: 1581801319
Fabulous book with lots of great pictues, step by step tutorials and easy to follow instructions how to draw with pastell on velour paper.
