Drawing the human form is one of the most challenging subjects for an artist and can feel overwhelming – it’s often difficult to know where to begin when faced with such a wealth of visual information. We are delighted that Hester Berry, an experienced life drawing tutor and artist, has agreed to create a set of resources that we hope will ...

Many college drawing courses require their students to purchase textbooks on drawing to use as a resource. If you’re studying alone it’s a good idea to use the table of contents of one of these books as a syllabus for your study. The first four books that I’ve listed below are available for free online. Some may have copyrighted images in them (whi...
The following books are not free, but can often be found very cheaply in used bookstores or online (and are well-worth the price). 1. Betty Edwards’ Drawing on the Right Side of the Brainis probably the most popular instructional drawing book of our time, and for good reason. 2. Mendelowitz’s Guide to Drawing has been used as a textbook for many ye...
Each of the books I just mentioned cover a broad spectrum of information about drawing. These next few articles that I found online are much more specific and focus on individual drawing techniques in more manageable chunks. They will also provide a slightly different perspective. 1. Contour Drawing Excerciseby Nancy Doyle. 2. Mass Drawing Excercis...
One of the advantages of attending art school is being in a community and learning from others. If you’re studying on your own, that isn’t usually possible. . . but to my delight, I’ve discovered that some museums are now beginning to offer free lectures online (called podcasts) about their collections and special exhibits. 1. MoMA has a large podc...
I’ve found that there are a ton of art-related videos on YouTube labeled as “how-to” videos, yet many of these are really only slideshows of the artist’s work. After a little digging, however, I did come up with a few videos that were similar to a college-level drawing session. 1. YouTube video of Gary Geraths drawing from life. 2. YouTube video of...
In any discipline, “seeing how it is done well” is key to learning to do it yourself, so below I’ve included some online galleries of famous draughtsmen. If you’re serious about improving your drawing skills, part of your study time should be spent copying (for educational purposes only) some great artists of the past. 1. Salvador Dali’s drawings a...
If you’re looking for more online resources, the two sites listed below contain a lot of links related to drawing instruction, some of it free and some not. Both are very extensive, so be prepared to spend some time going through them. 1. Katherine Tyrrell’s Drawing and Sketching Resources for Artists. 2. CG Society’s extensive list of drawing tuto...

Feb 13, 2018 · On 25 January 2018, with From Life, an exhibition about life drawing, on show in our galleries, we broadcast the world's first live-streamed, mass participatory life drawing class, led by renowned artist Jonathan Yeo. Featured on BBC Radio 2 for its innovative approach, the class saw artists aged six to 92 – many of whom had never tried life drawing before – tuning in from around the world ...

Keys to Drawing. My absolute favorite recommendation for newer artists is Keys to Drawing by Bert Dodson. The book is fairly lengthy at 224 pages but it covers everything you need to do in order to improve as an artist. Bert teaches drawing from life in a way that just makes sense.
