I got a new sight-size book. It’s about sight-size drawing from casts, which I can’t afford, which I saw on Amazon from some people that didn’t understand the specifics of the sight-size method so they recommended this book.[asa]0980045401[/asa]

It’s a good book, not much on the reading, though. It’s also not QUITE what I thought it would be – I had some people that are doing the Bargue Plates,

Wellllll…

Okay, the book is good. I recommend it. I need to get off my butt and get to my garage and get it cleaned out and the studio set back up so I can draw again. And I need to find some good places to get casts to do drawings from. I’ll re-review, I suppose, when I get that.

I whole-heartedly recommend Tony Ryder’s book,  The Artists Guide to Figure Drawing, because that book is so amazing. HE is so amazing. I only wish I had taken that path earlier in my life instead of being the practical lout that I am.

Anyway, finding a good plaster cast is difficult, unless you’re rich. Darren Rousar used a Discobolos cast that seems to retail for nearly $400. Cough!
