I found a free PDF of a book by one of my favourite figure artists - Burne Hogarth. The only link is a direct download link. Is it OK to post it here? The only concern I have is the possible legality concerning copyright because this was once a book for sale.

EDIT: The google pages this can be found on are here http://www.google.com/search?q=burne+hogarth+Dynamic+Figure+Drawing

Looks cool Erisian. Dad got me a drawing book published by Walter Foster for my Birthday (came in late; got it 2 weeks ago; lol). He doesn't understand that I'm a filter guy. lol

Still, the book has some cool info it it. It's title is The Art of Drawing Animals. Amazing that the sketches in the book are so detailed; some even look like high contrast b/w photos. :)

Sounds like a book I could do with Lyle. I'm OK with people but landscapes and animals are not my strong point.

I can't draw worth a hill of beans. I do have a book by J. D. Harding on nature, trees and stuff, somewhere. I think he did a whole series of drawing books.

Just completed this sketch because your thread got me in the mood Erisian; of course it's 100% filter/layer work (and some selective masking). :)

Odin - quite an old book then. Looks like a good artist. http://www.scribd.com/doc/2434970/-J-D- ... and-Nature

Lyle - I like that effect. It does actually look drawn.

Faker I am Erisian; I know you are just humoring me though. lol

Do envy those who have drawing and painting skills. Again, I'm the puppet master and filters and layer properties are my puppets. :)

Well OK it doesn't look exactly like someone's drawn it but I think it's pretty damn good anyway. You're not a faker, you're the faker! :)
