Learn to draw a limitless and ever changing possibility of themes, styles, and subjects for all ages.

I am certainly no expert artist by any stretch of the definition, but rather art is a serious hobby and joy of mine. In particular, I enjoy exploring and broadening my portfolio and artistic abilities by taking on new forms, themes, and styles of drawing as often as possible.

I will use this site as a bit of a sound board for sharing my latest findings and update it periodically. Below you will find information and reviews on the latest stylized drawing guides which I am currently using and I hope that you'll join me.

Each guide/system was hand tested based on three points: Ease of Use/Understanding, Number of Pictures/Size, and Overall Value.

iDraw Manga is a vast collection of lush original and famous manga drawings. If you want to learn to draw anything manga, look no further than this loaded guide. The best point of this guide is that it includes almost 1000 pages of illustrations. It's not quite as detailed in how the put together these drawings, however. There are still step by step model frames, it just doesn't go quite as into detail as other how to guides. There are also entire chapters devoted to sub-genres and themes, as well, such as manga girls and mecha.

Although How to Draw Cars is already a very kid friendly and oriented guide, I love promoting the love of art at a very early stage of development in children. How to Draw - For Kids is a fun, affordable guide which teaches kids to identify and draw the basic shapes and to put them together and go from there. Again, this is a great guide for cultivating a love of drawing for children at an early age which makes it both easy and fun.
