Many have requested us to include some of these notes directly here, and we have expanded the original list with links for new content.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We wish to emphasize that our visual library is in no way intended to supplant, replace, or offer an alternative to formal art education. The resources presented here are simply meant to serve as a complement, a source of inspiration, and a catalyst for your creative journey, a tool to be used to augment your artistic journey, broaden your creative horizons, and fuel the flames of your imagination.

To embark upon the path of artistic excellence, we should always remind ourselves of the importance of robust artistic training, which begins with a firm grounding in the art fundamentals. We recommend you immerse yourself in the elements of art and acquaint yourself intimately with the interplay of color, shape, line, texture, and form, possibly under the guidance of a professional mentor. By doing so, you will allow the principles of design to shape your artistic sensibilities. Combine your creativity with the power of daily practice and the ardent pursuit of live and gesture drawing, as these exercises forge a profound connection between your hand, eye, and imagination.
