This article describes my experiences and mostly my mistakes within a period of six months. I decided to write this in case you're a novice like me and you want to improve your skills.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>Index</h2>\n<p>In case you're not interested in reading the whole story a made this index so you can scroll down right to the books and links I found helpful.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>1. The long story 2007 - 2018&nbsp;</p>\n<p>2. Defining goals&nbsp;</p>\n<p>3. Resources to achieve my goals&nbsp;</p>\n<p>4. Results&nbsp;</p>\n<p>5.Advise&nbsp;</p>\n<p>6.List of resources<br>\n&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>1. The long story 2007 - 2018 &nbsp;</h2>\n<p>My first try on picking up drawing again was a year ago, the first trimester of 2017, the idea was <strong>“to get better”, this was my first big mistake of this period</strong>.</p>\n<p>&nbsp;I draw almost daily, portraits, figure and object. I was baffled, what I though I could draw and the results after a month or so where so far away from each other, my bad drawings killed my motivation and I ended quitting. Here are some of my drawing of the period.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXYudocLGbZg1f14kvYt9LPMzipzC4Y3w6yCy8DgYZfYr/Carlosfx_01%20(1).jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR1pny7V7UxyUpPwyhMJbeLZAiMfEeFC3zn274U5keWUP/Carlosfx_01%20(2).jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYaGS547qRf3HgnePCzyYFLWF7hiRgmns9yDFDvnUtArR/Carlosfx_01%20(4).jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>It was clear to me that trying was not enough, I started to think about that a lot and I notice that every drawing was pushing my motivation downwards. I mentioned before about the **big mistake of the period**, and it was the lack of a plan, I just draw stuff but it wasn’t clear what I wanted or what I needed to learn, <strong>the lack of objectives was something I didn't think about in the beginning</strong>. \"I'm going to get better is not enough to get better\" I also ignored the fact that I often draw without photo references so I was lost in the woods with the eyes shut.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>My second try started in the summer, the things went a little better, after looking for some books of anatomy and researching on reddit and reading some post on some art and blogs I decided to buy two books. This time I had a clearer idea of what I wanted and I knew I wanted to learn some basics of drawing to rewire my brain and get rid some of my bad habits.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>One of the books I got was <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_1_11?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&amp;field-keywords=drawing+on+the+right+side+of+the+brain&amp;sprefix=drawing+on+%2Cstripbooks%2C318&amp;crid=1MV2EO0GSRPJW\">The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards</a>, this book is a basic drawing manual, the chapters include exercises to review the contents of the chapters but they always revolve in one point <strong>learning to see</strong>, and translating this into paper.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The other book I bought was <a href=\"https://www.amazon.com/Figure-Drawing-Invention-Michael-Hampton/dp/0615272819/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1532601304&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=figure+drawing+-+design+and+invention+for+michael+hampton\">Figure Drawing - Design and Invention por Michael Hampton</a>, this is and incredible user manual of anatomy for artists, it is full with basic concepts where the author takes you through the process of drawing the human figure. The book is divided in three big parts, <strong>Gesture, Structure</strong> and an extensive study and examples of <strong>anatomy</strong>.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>The next weeks I dedicated time to read and of course I follow the exercises in the two books, was an interesting process and I learned a lot. And here are the my results after reading the books.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPVkYF53RBTb4aahVcqB9Z761QibtZngHctyc9cFyyW1q/Carlosfx_02%20(1).jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"/></p>\n<p><br>\n&nbsp;<img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbLbV8EtFH5iu9TgEzjDGbTuVdr5w2X4NC8CDCKjgzeaG/Carlosfx_02%20(2).jpg\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmceMJhg5otGsaxN9sf3WQWGBcCQKpPp9LY8btEWteTqdf/Carlosfx_02%20(4).jpg\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><strong>Nevertheless using just books became a tedious task.</strong> I was again stuck, I realized that I was copying things from the book and I wasn't really learning, I tried to apply some of the learned material and I was failing. I also noticed that <strong>I didn't drop my old bad habits from, like starting to draw without a clear idea or a plan, the lack of references and I never made a personal project</strong>. &nbsp;&nbsp;I was frustrated and disappointed but I knew the problem so after a long break I started again.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>2. Defining goals &nbsp;</h2>\n<p>In December I decided to take the whole thing more seriously, I trace a plan of what I wanted to do, this way it was clear what I wanted to learn. I picked three points, after all I read and found in the internet, that were the most important thing for me.&nbsp;</p>\n<h3>Value</h3>\n<h3>Pencil and charcoal techniques</h3>\n<h3>Anatomy</h3>\n<p><br></p>\n<p>It took me one week to choose this points, trace a plan for two months, January and February of 2018 and search for material on the internet. Everybody was talking or writing a lot about <strong>Value</strong> so I though \"hey this might be important\" so I just picked it without a lot of rationalization. &nbsp;&nbsp;Value is the degree of lightness and darkness in a color. The difference in values is called contrast. &nbsp;&nbsp;</p>\n<p>From Wikipedia <a href=\"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art\">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elements_of_art</a></p>\n<p>&nbsp;I choose pencil<strong> and charcoal</strong> just because I know they are simple and cheap, and one needs just a piece of paper to start drawing.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>I wanted to be able to draw portraits so it was obvious to me that I had to learn &nbsp;<strong>anatomy</strong>.&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>3. Resources to achieve my goals &nbsp;</h2>\n<p>Firs great resource was a video from <a href=\"https://noahbradley.com/\">Noah Bradley</a>, who is an American artist that make awesome illustration for Magic (card game). I found this video part of his online course Art Camp <a href=\"https://youtu.be/VgJXyEsakC8\">https://youtu.be/VgJXyEsakC8</a> There are three main exercises in this video &nbsp;</p>\n<ul>\n  <li>Drawing upside down to reinforce the ability of seeing and not thinking, just like in the Betty Edwards'. This way can we improve our abilities of copying. &nbsp; &nbsp;</li>\n  <li>Bargue Drawings. Charles Bargue was an artist and instructor who has a drawing course published in a book, its a fantastic an interesting book, its main focus is copying, Noah recommends to draw with the Bargue plates as references so one can understand a little bit of form, but he also recommends to do still life drawings of casts to avoid the tendency to copy and to enforce the understanding of volume. &nbsp; &nbsp;</li>\n  <li>Master Studies. Who knows better than the old masters, this exercise consists in analyzing old paintings of the great artists, who already figured out a lot of anatomy, color, value and more, something probably obvious, the trick described by Noah consist in <strong>understand, not copy. </strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;</li>\n</ul>\n<p>These are some of the exercises I made following the instructions of the video.</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc1odfP8d943XLogNMd2GW5r3hkwvoej5D4jv5vgXimoE/Carlosfx_03%20(2).png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"919\"/></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZWqw9hZdjTF2AuQXoubZ1PEwZW7y66PKWienGqNZsNez/Carlosfx_03%20(3).jpg\" width=\"727\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYRZmZvB2y9QnfeTyj6s1u2apaxnbFfsKRe6GvHd4aG5c/Carlosfx_03%20(1).png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"963\"/></p>\n<p>I was surprised how this simple exercises helped me to loosen my hands and make better strokes with the pencil and to understand a little but more of value.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>After two months of practice every night I was confident to make a <strong>personal project</strong>, I went to <a href=\"http://unsplash.com/\">unsplash.com</a> searched for a photo reference and I decided to put the work and after two days I finally finished this.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWXeZqD2nF5LR82ASJ2X36mZKXbYpkgasKtDrXC53xwyN/Carlosfx_04.png\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p>This was an amazing result, you can see that I'm not a great artist, but for the first time I get a glance of what I could reach if I keep going.&nbsp;</p>\n<p>&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>4. Results &nbsp;</h2>\n<p>&nbsp;&nbsp;The next images show the best drawings iI made in a period of two months.&nbsp;</p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdBa8ECe8ik7VmtZfchX6A17ZRVUaf3HKo7dNysScMKZr/Carlosfx_05%20(1).png\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRdjcKf6WHJJRYe9fGjAqc9CmGBRix39qhZMVmUFcARAF/Carlosfx_05%20(3).png\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS19RAZaUSQ5FqnhqCwpK25UbrFr6t4jcsRw7NuuKys7F/Carlosfx_05%20(4).png\" width=\"1024\" height=\"767\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmadyZyYkK2sWSKX51Cje1VZprdPgt8dCktrAhjEErWfNU/Carlosfx_05%20(2).png\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<p><br></p>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdAdf3KMBctDuUDQhgxJRWJRupraKHvPsZaGSmPgx5yZw/Carlosfx_05%20(5).png\" width=\"767\" height=\"1024\"/></p>\n<h2>5. Advise</h2>\n<p>In this period I learned some good things that could help you to improve your artistic skills. &nbsp;</p>\n<ol>\n  <li>Establish clear objectives from the beginning. If possible easy objectives, like drawing better volumes, value studies or anatomy of one part of the body (don't try to cover the whole anatomy book in one week)&nbsp;</li>\n  <li>Set a time goal for this objectives, depending on the complexity of the task and your abilities.&nbsp;</li>\n  <li>Avoid to focus just in one objective for too long. One week was enough for me to get sicken from drawing the head or a hand, so I had to switch to something different so when I revisited old objectives I had a fresh mind to work further on them.&nbsp;</li>\n</ol>\n<h3>I hope this post helps you to achieve your artistic goals, no matter if you just started or you have some basic skills.</h3>\n<p><img src=\"https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV8koPYszjCP9PgAfDztjUKGYKvco6tBg9yqfw7JbgXK8/carlosfx_Portrait.png\" width=\"500\" height=\"642\"/><br>\n&nbsp;</p>\n<h2>6.

      "body": "A finales del 2017 decidí retomar un pasatiempo que había abandonado por muchos años, el dibujo. Este artículo te puede ayudar en caso de que tengas interés, quieras retomar los pinceles y el lápiz o si quieres mejorar tus habilidades. \n\n![head.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmetXrt8bV4DrQKDgrB4sxZS4xv7xCQz38qeJVYghsEdtp/head.jpg)\n\n##### Indice.\n\nEn caso de que no quieres leer toda la historia o si tienes más interes en las recomendaciones y los recursos.\n\n1.  Una  larga historia 2017-2018 \n2.  Definición de objetivos \n3.  Recursos para alcanzar objetivos \n4.  Resultados \n5.  Recomendaciones \n6.  Listado de recursos \n\n##  1. Una larga historia 2017-2018 \n\nPues empecemos por el principio de la historia que comienza hace más de un año.\nMi primer intento fue retomar el dibujo y adquirir nuevas habilidades artísticas, esto comenzó el primer trimestre del 2017, y mis dibujos eran de lo peor, creo que este fue uno de esos momentos donde la expectativa de lo que tenia en mente y de lo que podía hacer estaban en niveles totalmente diferentes. Esto aniquiló mi motivación.\n\n### Estos son algunos de los dibujos resultados de la practica en las noches.\n\n![Carlosfx_01 (1).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmXYudocLGbZg1f14kvYt9LPMzipzC4Y3w6yCy8DgYZfYr/Carlosfx_01%20(1).jpg)\n\n![Carlosfx_01 (2).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmR1pny7V7UxyUpPwyhMJbeLZAiMfEeFC3zn274U5keWUP/Carlosfx_01%20(2).jpg)\n\n![Carlosfx_01 (4).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYaGS547qRf3HgnePCzyYFLWF7hiRgmns9yDFDvnUtArR/Carlosfx_01%20(4).jpg)\n\n\nEstaba claro que estaba intentando, casi **5 horas a la semana**, pero no tenía dirección y con cada dibujo nuevo mi motivación se iba minando. En ese tiempo en el que dibujaba no me daba cuenta de que no tenia mis objetivos claros, decir solamente **\"voy a mejorar mi dibujo\"** es una frase bastante general y **\"dibujo\"** es un termino que se compone de muchos otros elementos. Además un punto que en ese momento ignoraba y que es bastante importante es el uso de referencias fotográficas. Realmente no tenía una idea clara de lo que quería lograr con cada dibujo. \n\n**Como ya dije termine desmotivado y baje los brazos.**\n\nEn un segundo intento a mediados del año la cosa fue un poco mejor, después de buscar algunos libros de anatomía en la biblioteca local, visitar foros en linea y páginas de arte,decidí adquirir dos libros libros . Esta vez tenía una idea más clara, sabía que tenía que aprender los fundamentos del dibujo para adquirir nuevos conocimientos y pulir los que ya tenía.\nUno de los libros que compre es **The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain por Betty Edwards** que esta centrado más en la observación y copia, el libro explica en los diferentes capítulos un método de observación e incluye ejercicios que de deben realizar para repasar los puntos en el capítulo. \n**Un ejercicio bastante curioso en el libro es la copia de dibujos poniéndoles de cabeza**, para esto ayuda, según el autor,a dibujar lo que se ve sin pensar en lo que es, de esta manera el cerebro se concentra solamente en lineas y figuras dejando de lado lo que se esta dibujando.\n\nEl otro libro es **Figure Drawing - Design and Invention por Michael Hampton** es un manual, creo comprimido, pero que toca temas importantes en donde se describe como se construye el dibujo de la figura humana, por medio de la pose, la estructura y por último un extenso estudio de anatomía aplicada al dibujo.\n\n### Resultados del segundo intento\n![Carlosfx_02 (1).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPVkYF53RBTb4aahVcqB9Z761QibtZngHctyc9cFyyW1q/Carlosfx_02%20(1).jpg)\n\n![Carlosfx_02 (2).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbLbV8EtFH5iu9TgEzjDGbTuVdr5w2X4NC8CDCKjgzeaG/Carlosfx_02%20(2).jpg)\n\n![Carlosfx_02 (4).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmceMJhg5otGsaxN9sf3WQWGBcCQKpPp9LY8btEWteTqdf/Carlosfx_02%20(4).jpg)\n\nLas siguientes semanas dediqué tiempo a la lectura y a los ejercicios de los libros, fue un proceso interesante donde aprendí bastante, sin embargo el aprendizaje a través de los libros se volvió un poco tedioso y termino por ser una tarea aburrida.\n\nMe había estancado nuevamente, llegó el momento en el que sólo copiaba cosas de los libro,pero al tratar de aplicarlas no lograba dejar ciertos hábitos que arrastraba desde hace mucho tiempo y que habia repetido a principios del año, tales como empezar a dibujar sin una idea clara, no usar referencias y no aplicar lo aprendido en proyectos personales delineados. Todo esto acabó por frustrante, tenía que trazar un plan claro si quería mejorar.\n\n## 2.  Definición de objetivos \n\nEn diciembre decidí retomar todo más seriamente, está vez tracé un plan más claro de lo que quería hacer. de una manera casi aleatoria elegí tres puntos que me perecieron importantes.\nMe tomó una semana elegir estos puntos, buscar el material en libros y páginas de Internet y trazar un plan semanal para los meses de Enero y Febrero del 2018. \n\n##### Los siguientes son puntos donde decidí mejorar.\n\n**El valor** luminosidad o simplemente luz. En los meses anteriores leía mucho sobre este punto, es una de las cosas que le da más claridad a la imagen y es uno de los puntos centrales de la composición de una imagen. Podemos entender una imagen en grises, pero si no existen variaciones en el contraste no podemos entender lo que sucede en ella.\n    \n**Técnica de lápiz**, tomé esto como un inicio ya que el lápiz es algo que usamos desde que estamos en la escuela,es una herramienta familiar, aunque también tenía en mente el carboncillo ya que es algo que se puede trabajar directamente con las manos,ambas herramientas eran baratas, fáciles de adquirir y por esta razón se volvieron mi elección.\n\n**Anatomía enfocada a la cabeza** pera realizar retratos, simplemente porque es algo que me interesa,me gusta dibujar personas, y después de esto podría complementar con un poco de figuras.\n\n\n## 3. Recursos y ejercicios para alcanzar objetivos \n\nCon estos tres objetivos claros seleccione mi material de estudio, un video de **Noah Bradley**, que es un artista de los EEUU y se dedica a crear ilustraciones para Wizards of the Coast, y mis libros de dibujo que ya había adquirido.\nVideo\nDespués de ver el video realice los ejercicios que el Noah sugiere, que son los siguientes:\n\n**1. Dibujos al revés.** Esto es tomar un rostro ponerlo de cabeza y tratar de copiarlo de esa manera, Noah lo explica como un método para afinar la observación sin concentrarse demasiado en lo que se esta dibujaron y más en lo que se ve, un metodo similar al libro de Betty Edwards.\n**2.Dibujos de Bargue.**Bargue era un maestro de arte o de dibujo que tiene estos fantásticos dibujos en blanco y negro (que son parte de un libro que enseña el dibujo y son perfectos para estudiar el valor) estos dibujos están basados en esculturas y aunque es recomendable comprar figuras (muy caras) de yeso y dibujadas para ejercitar la vista. \n**3.Estudios de los Maestros del arte.** Aparentemente algo obvio pero que nunca paso por mi mente es analizar lo que han hecho artistas que la historia ha declarado como los grandes, en si el ejercicio consiste en observar y entender el cómo y el por qué de la composición de las pinturas redibujandolas o pintandolas.\n\n##Estos son los resultados después de realizar los ejercicios.\n\n![Carlosfx_03 (2).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmc1odfP8d943XLogNMd2GW5r3hkwvoej5D4jv5vgXimoE/Carlosfx_03%20(2).png)\n![Carlosfx_03 (3).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmPYzWqt2ksrMYAtDc8PTL8THzLUhuQCwUvgwL8QAMjxsb/Carlosfx_03%20(3).png)\n![Carlosfx_03 (3).jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmZWqw9hZdjTF2AuQXoubZ1PEwZW7y66PKWienGqNZsNez/Carlosfx_03%20(3).jpg)\n![Carlosfx_03 (1).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYRZmZvB2y9QnfeTyj6s1u2apaxnbFfsKRe6GvHd4aG5c/Carlosfx_03%20(1).png)\n\nRealmente me ayudaron mucho para adquirir soltura en mis trazos, ver y entender el valor(blanco y negro) en las imágenes.\n\n#### Después de un dos meses de prácticas me sentía confiado para realizar un proyecto propio,busqué un fotografía para usar como referencia, en **unsplash*(sitio con una infinidad de fotografías que pueden ser usadas libremente) y comencé con mi primer retrato de un desconocido.\n\n*![Carlosfx_04.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWXeZqD2nF5LR82ASJ2X36mZKXbYpkgasKtDrXC53xwyN/Carlosfx_04.png) \n\nSorprendente,no les parece, para mi lo es y más cuando lo comparó con los retratos anteriores que son terribles, se que mi dibujo se aleja mucho de la referencia fotográfica,pero aún así tiene cosas de gran valor para mi.\n## 4. Resultados \n#### Las siguientes imágenes muestran los dibujos realizados en un periodo de aproximadamente dos meses.\n\n![Carlosfx_05 (1).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdBa8ECe8ik7VmtZfchX6A17ZRVUaf3HKo7dNysScMKZr/Carlosfx_05%20(1).png)\n![Carlosfx_05 (3).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRdjcKf6WHJJRYe9fGjAqc9CmGBRix39qhZMVmUFcARAF/Carlosfx_05%20(3).png)\n![Carlosfx_05 (4).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmS19RAZaUSQ5FqnhqCwpK25UbrFr6t4jcsRw7NuuKys7F/Carlosfx_05%20(4).png)\n![Carlosfx_05 (2).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmadyZyYkK2sWSKX51Cje1VZprdPgt8dCktrAhjEErWfNU/Carlosfx_05%20(2).png)\n![Carlosfx_05 (5).png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmdAdf3KMBctDuUDQhgxJRWJRupraKHvPsZaGSmPgx5yZw/Carlosfx_05%20(5).png)\n\n5.\nEn este periodo he aprendido algunas cosas básicas que pueden ser útiles **si eres un principiante**, tal y como yo, y **te pueden ahorrar un par de meses de frustración.**\n\n**1. Establece objetivos claros desde el principio.** \nDe preferencia objetivos sencillos como, perspectiva de volúmenes básicos, valor, anatomía de una parte del cuerpo. \n\n**2. Establece una fecha para completar el objetivo.** \nDependiendo del objetivo puedes dedicar una semana o dos para aprender. \n\n**3. Evita concentrarte demasiado en tus objetivos definidos. **\n\nNo dediques más de una semana o dos, como lo sugerí en el punto anterior, para aprender una tema pero depende de tu disciplina y motivación, pero es mejor aprender un tema, explorar algún punto nuevo y regresar a un tema ya estudiado después de algunos para repasar lo aprendido. \n\n### Espero que estos puntos sencillos te ayuden en tu aprendizaje y les deseo mucho éxito.\n\n\nDespués de seguir haciendo dibujos de cabeza, copias de los dibujos de Bargue y algunos estudios de los maestros finalmente me di cuenta de que debía reestructurar mis objetivos y aprender lo más básico del arte, pero esto lo dejare para el siguiente artículo.\n\n![carlosfx_Portrait.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmV8koPYszjCP9PgAfDztjUKGYKvco6tBg9yqfw7JbgXK8/carlosfx_Portrait.png)\n\n## 6. Recursos\nLes dejo los recursos que he encontrado en Internet, así como los libros que mencioné en los párrafos anteriores. Todos estos están en inglés, pero estoy seguro de pueden encontrar libros que se ajusten a sus objetivos en otras tiendas en linea,en cuanto a los videos es probablemente un poco más sencillo porque Noah explica y dibuja simultáneamente.\n\n[Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain ](https://www.amazon.com.mx/Drawing-Right-Brain-Betty-Edwards/dp/1585429201/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532601200&sr=1-1&keywords=Betty+Edwards ) por Betty Edwards\n\n[Figure Drawing - Design and Invention](https://www.amazon.com.mx/Figure-Drawing-Invention-Michael-Hampton/dp/0615272819/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1532601312&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=igure+Drawing+-+Design+and+Invention+por+Michael+Hampton) por Michael Hampton \n\n\nEn youtube Noah Bradley https://www.youtube.com/noahbradley\n\n\nEstos son los enlaces directos al inicio de la explicación de cada ejercicio\n[Dibujo de cabeza.](https://youtu.be/VgJXyEsakC8?t=4m34s) \n\n[Estudio de los maestros](https://youtu.be/VgJXyEsakC8?t=33m49s)\n\n[Dibujo bargue](https://youtu.be/VgJXyEsakC8?t=55m29s)",
