Anyone with even a passing interest in drawing and art will get a lot out of this series of articles in the New York Times by noted Illustrator and Educator James McMullan. McMullan is best know for the last 25 years of Lincoln Center performance posters and a a series of illustrations accompanying a New York Magazine article that inspired the film Saturday Night Fever.

I was lucky enough to attend School of Visual Arts where Jim teaches High Focus Drawing. A class that expands on the lessons mentioned in this article and is hands down the most in depth and intensive study of drawing out there. If you’ve ever wanted to know how the magic is done, this column will give you a great idea.
