Artist and author James Mullen is currently writing a series about drawing for The New York Times. I first learned about this special collection of articles six weeks ago from a member of the San Diego Sketchcrawl Group. This weekly quick-share item has been posted to ArtPlantae’s Facebook page and Twitter stream ever since, but has not been shared here. So to correct this oversight, here are links to the first six installments of this wonderful 12-part series. Each new installment is published on Friday in the Opinionator section of The New York Times blog.
- Getting Back to the Phantom Skill
- The Frisbee of Art (drawing ellipses)
- Hatching the Pot (lighting, cross-hatching)
- The Beagle Vanishes (perspective)
- Mother Nature Decoded (drawing plants & trees)
- The Shadow Knows (the power of shadows)
