In the "From the Top" section (at the top of the archives :-) you'll find a link to the latest, the greatest, the first of the next series of Flash interactive exercises. This next set will focus on the basics of drawing - an area that we all can use review. And since I'm a certified Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain (DRSB) Instructor, I'm going to do my best to really convey those basic skills in an interactive format (the "Flash" stuff). Today's download is slightly out of order, but I just didn't have enough time to do the pure contour exercise that ought to come before this. (That'll be next month - as well as more links and more information apropos to pure contour and modified contour drawing.) The biggee though in today's exercise is understanding and using the Picture Plane. The picture plane will play a key role in the rest of these DRSB and it's a fascinating and fundamental step in learning to draw. So check it out. My apologies if some parts of it seem a little disjointed but overall I think you'll be very satisfied. Please make it a point to really build or purchase a "Picture Plane" over the next month. It's that important. Here's the link - and it's sizable: about 4.1 megabytes. Go to the Archives and right there at the very top of the "From the Top" section, you'll see "April 30th Download...click on me" Click on it and choose to "Save on my computer": http://ycdinsiders.digitalchainsaw.com/InsidersArtistLoft/archives.htm Enjoy - this took a chunk of work to do, and I bid you, really do the assignment!! You'll love it!
