# Art Resources

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*](https://www.amazon.com/Mission-Art-Alex-Grey/dp/157062545X) by Alex Grey

- [*The Creative Act*](https://www.amazon.com/Creative-Act-Way-Being/dp/0593652886) by Rick Rubin

- [*The Zen of Seeing: Seeing/Drawing as Meditation*](https://www.amazon.com/Zen-Seeing-Drawing-Meditation/dp/0394719689) by Frederick Franck

#### Technical Art Books

- [*Pen & Ink Drawing: A Simple Guide*](https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Simple-Guide/dp/0997046538) and the companion [*Workbook*](https://www.amazon.com/Pen-Ink-Drawing-Workbook-2/dp/0997046503) by Alphonso Dunn

### Art Courses

- (https://www.bradsartschool.com/learn-to-draw-in-60-days) with Brad Colbow.

He also has an affordable (https://brad.site/artschool/intro-dig-art.html) course that I haven’t taken but am sure is excellent if (https://tasshin.com/u)’d like an intro to making art with Procreate.
