Mark Kistler

Mark Kistler is a guy who teaches kids and adults how to draw, I think he even has a television show.

When I was in 6th grade, my teacher tought us out of his book Draw Squad, and let me tell you, his instruction had an EXPLOSIVE effect on my drawing skills.

I decided to buy my own copy of his book back then and I still own it.  I definitely recommend his book, checking out his videos, his website, etc., if you feel that you don't know how to draw, but would LOVE to learn.

Anyway, I finally decided to show some instructional stuff on here but I chose one of Mark's videos just because it's kind of light and fun and you don't have to be amazing at drawing in order to follow along.

Check it out:



Ok, so I know it's a little on the kiddie side, but still, I think it's pretty cool.  If you can learn to look past that, I think you can get a lot out of his stuff (especially if you don't already draw).

Mark's website is more for parents and teachers who want to get their kids started on drawing (http://www.draw3d.com), but he has a lot of videos on YouTube that may be useful to you if you're just starting out.  Either way, I think this is a good starting point for anyone interested in drawing, or you may just want to check out one of his books at the bookstore (I reccommend Draw Squad).

Alright, I gotta go, I'll talk to you soon :)
