Hello,
Was wondering if there is a book or a class I can take to learn to more effectively take a sketch to a painting. It seems that I dont get enough details in my quick sketches to produce a finished painting that I am happy with. It is hard for me to visualize how feathers should lay or look in a certain position so as to keep the bird looking natural.
I have looked at John Bubsy's book on Drawing Birds, but I find it lacking, it seems it is more inspirational than instructional. Although he himself is a wonderful and powerful artist who I respect (in case hes on this board reading this, I really do think you are remarkable, just didnt find your book that helpful). He just kind of says practise, well I dont need a $30 book to tell me that, and practise helps to a certain extent, but I think one needs technique as well and if your not developing a technique or talented enough to develop a uniqe technique to help you paint well then what do you do? You usually look for quidance from others who seem to excell in this area.
Thanks for any suggestions.
