I wanted to be an architect. I did the drafting classes and the math and all, but when it came time to draw reliefs, my little red head shut down.
After years of listening to people say “Anyone can draw, it’s like learning to type!”, and wincing; I’ve decided to commit some real time to overcoming this (mainly emotional, I’m sure) barrier.
Besides, a good web dev can’t be scared of a web designer, who can’t be scared of a little mock-up sketching for white board conference room thrills.
Favorites so far: DueysDrawings has stage by stage photos to keep you re-inspired while doing the work, and, (who knew YouTube was the greatest drawing instructor?) some Photoshop drawing tutorials, and, OMG, do you remember this guy from PBS, Mark Kistler? If you don’t love the secret space cities, or the kickass late seventies moustache worn right into the here and now, or the bwow-chick-a-wowt-wow PBS intro music…, well, then you may not be capable of loving anything at all!
