How to Draw An Owl

Side note: if you really want to draw that fucking owl I recommend "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" by Betty Edwards. It's a book about drawing (no surprise) that goes deeper than just the mechanics of drawing, so it's also fun to read.

I recommend a pencil, it's more useful than trying to etch out a drawing with a book... however I do like that people aren't suggesting art classes to learn drawing.

I'm a self-taught writer and I think my biggest selling point is my personal voice in my work. I don't think you'd learn a personal style in artistry without brute forcing. I also think brute forcing your way to being talented is going to give you the ability to brute force your way through a block.

another great recommendation are andrew loomis' books on drawring. very detailed and technical approach. (and they are free!)
