| 1 | VideoPerspective 3: Contrast and Aerial | The air around us is not totally transparent. When you look at something that far enough, a few hundred feet perhaps, you will see a kind of white haze, especially in a humid environment. If you look at faraway mountains, this becomes very apparent. You can use this in a painting or drawing by reducing contrasts for distant objects. The colors also appears "washed out".

| 2 | VideoPerspective 2: Using Color | Certain colors are interpreted by the brain in such a way that the items they're painted on appear to be placed further away. Usually, colder colors are associated with distance and warmer colors suggest proximity. This doesn't always work, but it can be used to add to the perspective effect of a painting or drawing.

| 7 | VideoPortrait: deciding on what to do - part 1 of 2 | On YouTube; Portrait 1 If you want to draw the face or body, two methods are available: use symbols, or guide books to learn how to draw an idealised human, or use observation to draw from life (or a photograph). In the video, I make reference to this book. It's called "Drawing the Head and Figure" by Jack Hamm. This video introduces the use of symbols.

This video podcast addresses the problem encountered when trying to fit a 3-dimensional object (in this case a model of a human body) onto a 2-dimensional support (in this case a drawing on paper). It's all about looking and using simple tricks (visual cues). Click To Play | 1/15/08 | Free | View In iTunes |

Drawing
I truly can understand this person and his way of explaining what he is doing is refresing. He makes it seem like everyone can draw if they just follow his instructions. I love it!
