Still MORE Frank Talk On Drawing

We reach the midpoint of the Draw-Along With Frank Borth strips - this time with an important lesson that some modern artists (Yeah - you know who you are) missed when they were learning to draw - FEET!

If you're just joining us, here are parts One and Two of the series.




Three down, two to go. But let's jump back a bit to that Sketch-It of Ben Franklin we showed at the start of this series. It was numbered 6 - here are the previous 5...

But, i digress. (sorry, Peter)

If things go according to plan, we'll be back this afternoon with another little post for those who don't care for Art Lessons.

    1. Yup, 100% sure. The inkers would often draw in the fingernails that Jack hadn't bothered with too.
