Did we miss anything? Tell us below. Also, what are your favorite Fundamental Drawing Books?

[@JamesGurney]

Thanks for mentioning my books and KZbin. It's a big honor coming from you two guys. The podcast is great, and you guys are hitting your groove. May I recommend a few other books for fundamentals?: Vanderpoel's figure drawing, Harold Speed's books on Drawing and Painting, Nathan Fowkes' book on portraits, Richard Williams' book on animation, The Illusion of Life by Johnston and Thomas, and Scott Robertson's HOW to DRAW and How to Render.

@proko I just wanted to inform you and teachers like you that many students are informed about WHAT the fundementals ARE. But when leaening on your own, figuring out how to learn them is the hardest part. Though reccomending these books is a great help please show us how approach each major category and how to practice them correctly. Many of us practice and learn incorrectly ulitimately leading to wasted time

[@melindawolfUS]

YES! History is more fun as an adult because we aren't trying to memorize battle dates anymore - history is a collection of amazing stories and interesting gossip! lol

[@zojaXII]

Can we all talk about the fact that marshall doesn't have shoes

[@steventhomas7292]

Proko, the mischievous anarchist, Marshall, the optimistic intellectual, together it works, lol 👌

The Frazetta learning anatomy in one night has been widely taken out of context by pretty much everyone now. He said that to illustrate how niave he was as a younger artist during the 40s, not to boast about anything-its not possible to learn anatomy in one night. And it was Ralph Mayo (an art director) not Ralph Bakshi who loaned him the Bridgman book. Check out the Frazetta Icon book, the story is mentioned in there.

Lmao "I don't wanna hear what you bought on Amazon this week "

[@RonnieNimer]

If you wanna draw from imagination, it's imporant to also build a good Visual library, isnt it? I think kim jung gi, drew so much that he got such a great visual library, right?

[@mothtownpng]

Man I am

[@Mark-nh7zg]

I rarely ever like or comment on a video because I'm not super interested in participating in KZbin, but you guys are really awesome and have given me the confidence to draw again.

[@bonsainut7347]

I just love the chaotic intro's, you guy's are hilariously funny, great show.

[@gabrielcantu4146]

This is exactly what I needed. I'm completely self taught when it comes to drawing. However I've hit a wall in my development. Biggest reason is that I lack the fundamentals. It's something I wanted to work on but didn't know where to start. Having a roadmap helps so much.

Alla Prima by Richard Schmid is such a beautiful book. Even if you don't want to learn how to paint the book it is so well written that you just will enjoy it as literature. It is amazing the level of passion Schmid has for painting and for teaching how to paint. I think I read the whole book more than five times over the years and sometimes I even cry at the end. You are right the approach is more for people who wants to paint from reality and not from imagination but nevertheless it has a bunch of technical tips and I think everyone should read it. Great episode. Thanks for sharing.
