Resource list 2016.

Hopefully this will be a useful resource list, putting this here because I'm getting tired of hunting up the same links over and over again.

Beginners/ Fundamentals.

Websites-
Draw a box - drawabox.com/ Starting with fine motor control and moving onto form and the other fundamentals.
Ctrlpaint - www.ctrlpaint.com/library More digital based, but the library has traditional as well and covers the fundamentals.
A basic perspective primer -www.artyfactory.com/perspectiv…
Human anatomy primer - design.tutsplus.com/series/hum…


Youtube-
Sycra - www.youtube.com/playlist?list=… his tutorials for beginners playlist.
John Muir Laws - [link] and [link] This guy is amazing, the videos are long (1hr plus) and the quality of recording is a bit rough but his explanations on how to draw and see are great
Not John Muir Laws-  but a guest artist with possibly the best 'non technical' perspective primer, poor sound quality but well worth watching [link]
Mark Crilley - www.youtube.com/user/markcrill… he has a great sense of humour, and most of his work is draw along, so they are great for beginners who want something to follow. Traditional artist.
Draw with Jazza - www.youtube.com/user/DrawWithJ… similar to Mark Crilley, only digital artist who does animation as well.

Books-
Jack Hamm - Drawing the head and figure, How to draw animals, Cartooning the head and figure, Drawing scenery. All four books are written in nice simple language, but go into enough depth that they are suitable for more advanced artists too.
John Deacon -The Drawing Book, this book is aimed at kids, and as such doesn't go into a lot of detail, BUT it covers all the fundamentals required to draw well, so if you want something really simple but effective this is a book to hunt down if you can.
Betty Edwards - Drawing on the right side of the brain. This is a good book to get you to see like an artist, if you can already draw what's there rather than what you think should be there (draw reality instead of symbols) then you can skip this one, but if you find yourself throwing down a circle for the sun, and 'tree' shapes instead of /trees/ it's well worth looking into.
