I started my visual art career in late August of 2021. I’m no expert in visual art, drawing, or Procreate, but I am an interested and increasingly proficient amateur. This post is a collection of the resources that have been especially helpful to me so far during my art journey, in case it’s helpful for someone else, too.
Books
General Inspiration
- The Mission of Art by Alex Grey
- The Creative Act by Rick Rubin
- The Zen of Seeing: Seeing/Drawing as Meditation by Frederick Franck
Technical Art Books
- Pen & Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide and the companion Workbook by Alphonso Dunn
- Picture This: How Pictures Work by Molly Bang
YouTubers
Art Courses
- Learn to Draw in 60 Days with Brad Colbow.
- He also has an affordable Intro to Digital Art course that I haven’t taken but am sure is excellent if U’d like an intro to making art with Procreate.
