It was not planned when I was creating it, but now I feel it something fits at the beginning of weekend. Not decided yet if these dragons want to start having fun or they are simply going to sleep.
In the last year or two of learning to draw, I've accumulated a number of art books. Here are some particularly good ones for beginners.
Kistler, You Can Draw in 30 Days
Very friendly, exercises that don't take hours on end, and a concise list of drawing principles on pp. 2-3.
Dean, Animal Line Drawing
You can crank one of these out in a spare moment and it will look reasonable.
DeWilde, 30-Minute Drawing for Beginners
More short exercises and principles.
Howard, 101 Textures in Colored Pencil
This is more of a reference, but drawing these will get you in the habit of layering colored pencil to produce rich textures.
Bower, 101 Sketching Tips
A long list of clever tricks and observations for sketching from life.
The Sketch Encyclopedia
Some mediocre general advice followed by a HUGE catalog of things to sketch, each with four reasonable stages.
Based on... many random photos I think and finally it not looks like any particular one :blobcatjoy:
I wanted to experiment with water and reflections.
