On: Ask HN: How do I get into art?

[olah_1]

One thing that I was shocked by is how mentally taxing it is to sit down and draw for X minutes.

It's like meditation. Extremely hard work. Makes you appreciate an artist that can draw / paint a subject for hours at a time.

The book I linked was technically what I read after DOTRSOTB, but I found it to be similar nonetheless.
