Drawing Resources

Posted on 28th July 2026. Filed under Analogue

I asked for recommendations for courses and books related to learning drawing techniques and I got a bunch of great suggestions. I've not tried any of these yet (except a single video from Alphonso Dunn but I want to collect these in one place I can refer back to.

• Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards via Kerri and Valrus. There's a few editions of this but I'll pick up a second hand copy of whichever one I come across first.
• Books by Christopher Hart via Andy and alienlebarge. I have one of these on the way to check it out.
• The aforementioned Alphonso Dunn has a book called Pen and Ink Drawing, A Simple Guide. I found a copy of this really cheap on Vinted which is on its way to me. He also has a huge number of videos on his YouTube channel. via Hollie and kalikambo
• Maggie Appleton has a great list of courses and books via Eric
• Eric also suggested Fun with a Pencil and The Natural Way to Draw
• Draw by Jeffrey Camp and Drawing on the Artist Within, another Betty Edwards one came via Gary.

I'm not going to get everything on this list because that would be chaos but there's lots of great stuff in here that I can choose from.

The Art Coach was the course advertised to me on Instagram which triggered me to ask this question in the first place.
