That's a very precious resource thumbs up!

Yeah, and I'd like to mention that some of the books there are in Russian. Those are:

- the "50_*.pdf" serie. Not that there's much text... But all the text they have is in Russian.
- Christopher_Hart_-_Aliens_Halloween.pdf - not too much text either.
- Francisco_Server_-_Risunok_Dlya_Nachinayushikh.djvu - I don't think it's worth downloading unless you can read Russian.
- Osnovy_risovaniya.pdf - translated as "Basics of Drawing". I don't know how it really is called in English, but it's written by Greg Albert and Rachel Wolfe (or Wolf, maybe?) Anyway, it's got a decent amount of text, so you'd better find the English version if you don't know Russian.

Incredible Serge!
THANKS!

Fulbert is maintaining this useful project, not me.

Thanks! Nice update. We'll try to

Just downloaded and looked carefully at the "50 Birds" book.

Pros: like Fulbert said, you don't have to know Russian to understand it, all the important information is in the illustrations. It can be really useful as a guide. The drawings are good and obviously were made by professional, which is also good. Cons: it's not an educational book actually. It's pure guide... you won't find basics of birds anatomy there, or how to draw a wing correctly. It has many examples, but all of them are finished or half-finished. I'm not sure I can use it to draw a bird from scratch, or to draw a scene from my imagination instead of copying one from the book. I'd like to hear an opinion of someone who knows more about drawing though, I can be very wrong.

: Ugh... can we also have similar books about cats, or horses?

(I'm only partially joking here btw )

Thanks for the link! Will try to download it on the first possibility.

Hey hey hey, kids! That's Fulbert the Klown, bwa-ha-ha-ha!;-)

Today we all thank our dear friend Suusje for the large e-books archive he helped me to find. In fact, it's so large I'm still sorting it out. But I've already uploaded some of the books to our ftp, and these are as follows:

1. Burne Hogarth - Drawing Dynamic Hands - 14M. A kinda complicated book about drawing dynamic hands and arms. It's definitely not for newbies. Why did I upload it here? I dunno... What if we have a pro here?
2. Burne Hogarth - Drawing the Human head - 28Mb. Another pro book, the title speaks for itself.
3. Ken Hultgren - The Art of Animal Drawing - 25Mб. That's a good one. This book shows us how to draw beautiful, free, strong and dangerous animals. Panthers, bears, horses - you name it.
4. "Manga Mania" series. A series of simpe albums that show how to draw different kinds of anime and manga characters. The books are in Russian, but the text there is fairly meningless, and the bookmarks are translated into Englisgh so the English-speaking readers could navigate through the books.
- Manga-Mania_-_Devochki_i_Devushki.pdf - 16.7Mб. Translated into English as "Girls and Young Women":-)
- Manga-Mania_-_Roboty_i_Mechanzmy.pdf - 21Мб. This one is translated as "Robots and Mechanisms"
- Manga-Mania_-_Yunoshi_i_Muzhchiny.pdf - 16Mб. This one is "Boys and Men".
5. J.D._Harding_-_On_Drawing_Trees_and_Nature.pdf - 48Мб. This useful books is all about nature. The sticks and stones, the trees and grass, clouds and blue sky... Anything to make a perfect countryside landscape.
6. Jack_Hamm_-_Drawing_Scenery_Seascapes_And_Landscapes.pdf - 27 Мб. This one is one of my favourites. It shows how to draws stones and trees, and especially - seashores. And even I managed to draw a realistic rock using this book:-)
7. Gary_Faigin_-_The Artist's_Complete_Guide_To_Facial_Expression.pdf - 48 Мб. A rather serious book on facial expressions.

full and lite sounds the best from a user's point of view (that way eveyrone' happy) if you don't mind doing the extra work.

The ftp owner, Dagdamor, says that the space is not a problem. And I don't mind doing some extra work (in fact, that's how I read the books - while resizing them:-) ). So I think I'll be uploading two versions from now - Hires and midres (for "lores" sounds so cheap).

Yeah, and we have some more good news.
mmaavv uploaded some books, such as:
- Andrew Loomis - Eye Of The Painter 2.pdf
- Artist's Companion - Construction Aid For Artists .pdf
- Burne Hogarth - Dynamic Figure Drawing.pdf
- Drawing realistic textures in pencil .pdf
- Learn To Paint Flowers.pdf
- the encyclopedia of airbrush tecniques.pdf
And many more, but that's up to you to look for:-)

Furthermore, as the collection is getting sort of large, we reorganized it so that it is easier for you to navigate through. I think it's more convenient now that we have folders and stuff.
I really do hope we didn't foul up anyone's downloads. If we did, we're deeply sorry. We'll try not to do that anymore:-)

That's amazing, Fullbert and mmavv! My deepest thanks for such an avalanche of useful stuff!

I've been looking through alot of these and couldn't agree more, these shall be very helpfull So thanks to everyone whos posted em all up

Good news for those who are going to make an old-skool computer game of their own:-)
I happened to come across some neat pixel-art tutorials. If anybody wants to learn how they used to create computer graphics so many years ago, welcome:-)
Some cool examples of pixel-art can also be found here.

I always loved Pixel Art, reminds me of the old games from the past and their beautifully hand drawn graphics. So many memories, and it's great to see that even today, lots of people still like that and work to bring it forward in the internet. Thanks for the links, Fulbert!

You're very welcome

=(
Seems to be that it's empty now... How pity!
Can i find that tutorials collection somewhere else?

Thanks for helpin', mmaavv.
