This thread is dedicated to gathering links to Web sites (including some fabulous Wet Canvas links and Articles) with info for learning how to draw .........
The majority of these links are a condensed version of Jet's ** DRAWING FAQs ** + STOP + thread and full credit is going to him for starting the original thread and also to others who have made contributions! :clap:
I have condensed this thread to just text links so it will be easier for members to find all the links in one post instead of wading through the 9 full pages of the old one.
If you find a link that would be an asset to this thread please PM or email myself or Zar the link and we can add it for you as this thread will be locked so it doesn't get bloated with pages and pages of links.
HAPPY SURFING!!:D
PS: If you find a broken link let a moderator know so it can be fixed or deleted :)
PSS: Please make sure links submitted to this thread are applicable to this forum! Not all links will be added as we don't want too much info on the same subject or links to other web sites that have a list of links.
