Default Sites or books for drawing/art.

Hi friends,

I am looking for books or sites to learn drawing preferably with flowers & birds.

Any idea would be highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot, Vidhya. If you or anyone knows where those sets are available in Chennai(particular shop), that would be nice to get the same from my parents.

Meanwhile, found a site where they have explained step by step for flowers, animals etc. I have asked earlier for my son and he tried just now a flower-daisy it was really neat too.

Howstuffworks "How to Draw a Violet"

Bye.

Ami,

Wetcanvas.com is an information storehouse for all kinds of artistic mediums. There is a subforum called Classroom in the link below where you will find a lot of drawing tutorials:
WetCanvas! - Browsing Content Channel: Drawing & Sketching
You will also find tutorials under the Colored pencil and Watercolor forums. Here's a link to the watercolor classroom: http://www.wetcanvas.com/forums/showthread.php?t=291955

If you are planning to buy from India, then Landmark, Spencer Plaza and Landmark, Nungambakkam has very good books. I bought one on sketching by Keshaw Kumar.

In the US, you can check out your local library. Books by Walter Foster publications are very helpful. Here's a link:
Walter Foster - drawing & lettering
Click on any book and you will get an idea of what the tutorials are like.

There are also some video demos in Google Videos.

Another link to an e-book:

How to Draw Flowers - Google Book Search
