Boot Camp # 2: Drawing Eyes!
Part two of this intense four part series of
anatomy and foundations
lessons "rehearsal"

Listing the five skills of drawing - Keep these in mind as you work through the Flash Lessons:

1) the perception of edges
2) the perception of spaces
3) angles, perspective, and proportion
4) light and shadow
5) the gestalt

In these "Boot Camp" lessons you're going to get an in-depth lesson in two things; you're going to learn about a particular piece of anatomy and you're going to continue reviewing, rehearsing, and revisiting the basic skills of drawing. In fact, you're going to get so much of it by the time you're done with all the lessons and all the Flash modules you'll be ready to graduate to bona fide drawings and caricatures. If you conscientiously do the all the assignment and apply yourself, I guarantee this. Dive on in and don't be afraid!

Note: Due to the way the Flash Lessons are constructed and due to limitations between Flash technology and this electronic book, the links contained within the interactive lesson point to the online book (links of the "http://www...." type). All the same pages those Flash links aimed at are within the book in front of you (if it's loaded on your computer).

For your convenience, the links contained within the Flash Lesson "Boot Camp: Drawing Eyes!" are repeated in their order of appearance within the table below. (Specifically the right half of the table - just read the headline for each column :-) Further, they're linked to the book as it sits on your computer - they won't open a browser and you don't need a web connection to open them. What a deal :-) If you want to see if any new additions have been made to the online page, go for it and click on the links within the Flash Lesson or click on the links in the left hand column below. If you want to access those pages rapidly, refer to this list:

Links on-line, out there on the Web... - Click on this column of links where you can find updates (if any) - click on any of these and a web browser will open.	If you're accessing this page from within your e-book... Click on these links and you'll be whisked to these pages right within this book
