I figure a list of resources could be useful for some people. Feel free to suggest anything that you think should be added to the list. Any form of art goes, including writing.


 
*
*Gesture and anatomy*
*  
- "[Proko's gesture drawing series":](http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtG4P3lq8RHGuMuprDarMz_Y9Fbw_d2ws). Very useful videos to help beginners with creating great gestures/poses.
 
- "[Free e-books on anatomy by Andrew Loomis":](http://www.alexhays.com/loomis/). His "Figure drawing for all its worth" seems to be the go-to book for learning anatomy.
 
- "[Sycra's tutorial on foreshortening.":](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJWLaDSNBAI
)  
- "[PoseManiacs":](http://www.posemaniacs.com/) PoseManiacs is a great website for getting lots of human poses. You can also use a 30 second draw game where you try to draw the figure that is shown for a certain amount of time. This is good for figure drawing.
 
- [dead link] "-[~~Pixelovely-":~~](http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/). Same as PoseManiacs, but uses real models instead of 3D computer-generated ones .
 
- "[AdorkaStock](https://www.deviantart.com/adorkastock) - previously was [~~SenshiStock":~~](http://senshistock.deviantart.com/). More poses.


 
*
*Perspective*
*  
- "[Perspective made easy":](http://www.amazon.com/Perspective-Made-Easy-Dover-Instruction/dp/0486404730/ref=la_B001KDW98C_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391543626&sr=1-1) (book).
 
- "[How to Draw: drawing and sketching objects and environments from your imagination":](http://www.amazon.com/How-Draw-sketching-environments-imagination/dp/1933492759/ref=la_B0034O5O32_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1391543619&sr=1-1) (book). A great resource to learn technical drawing and design.


 
*
*Composition*
*  
- [artist has removed the tutorial] "-[~~Picture this-":~~](http://www.jessethompsonart.com/artpage/Pre_C_drawing_Video_files/molly%20bang%20pictre%20this.pdf). A quick read, but provides a lot of information about composition.
 
- "[The secret to composition":](http://lulie.deviantart.com/art/The-Secret-to-Composition-272036625) by Lulie


 
*
*Digital art*
*  
- "[Ctrlpaint":](http://ctrlpaint.com/). Probably the best place to start with digital painting, and it even has some videos on basic traditional drawing and art fundamentals if you are completely new to art.
 
- "[Feng Zhu's School of Design":](http://www.youtube.com/user/FZDSCHOOL/videos). This is more for professional works in production, but there are helpful tips hobbyists can use.
 
- "[What app for what":](http://fox-orian.deviantart.com/art/PROTIP-What-App-For-What-Chart-345591336). A handy chart that lists popular digital art software and what each is good for.
 
- "[Common digital painting mistakes":](http://natasha2808.deviantart.com/art/Tutorial-Common-Digital-Painting-Mistakes-306838986). Very helpful tips for beginning digital artists.
 
- [artist has removed the tutorial] "-[~~An Explanation of Photoshop Blending Modes-":~~](http://www.myinkblog.com/an-explanation-of-photoshop-blend-modes/). Detailed explanations about the blending modes in Photoshop, which examples in each.
 
- [tool is no longer available] "-[~~Carapace-":~~](http://epicgames.com/community/2012/11/free-art-tool-released-thanks-to-epic-friday/). Very helpful tool to quickly create perspective grids.


 
*
*Sequential Art/Comic Design*
*  
- "[Comics and Sequential Art by Will Eisner":](http://www.amazon.com/Comics-Sequential-Art-Principles-Instructional/dp/0393331261) (book). Highly recommend this book for those who want to get started drawing or even analyzing Sequential Art.


 
*
*Ponies*
*  
- "[EqD's tutorial codex":](http://www.equestriadaily.com/2013/06/tutorial-codex.html). Massive number of resources on art basics and pony-related guides.
