Sketching 101 Free Tutorial by Alisa Burke

If you love to sketch and want to learn from a master then you'll be happy to know that Alisa Burke has put together a sketching101 tutorial.  Have fun sketching.

Copyright © 2010 - All Rights Reserved - Written by Alisa Burke of Alisa Burke

Here's what Alisa had to say about her tutorial: Since sharing the pages of my sketchbook in a variety of posts, I have received lots of inquiries about my sketching process, my supplies and techniques. I thought I would put a post together to answer some questions and give a little tutorial on sketching (my style).

Drawing and sketching is not an easy daily task but creatively I believe it is such an important part of the process when making art or craft projects. I strongly believe that learning the basics of drawing, finding your own style and taking time to develop it is so rewarding!

Please understand that everything I post on my blog is for your personal use only - not for resale or redistribution.
