Hi Amita,I attended my first drawing class last night. It was just a one-session thing, to get me started with drawing. I'm trying to learn to draw because I want to get into logo design as part of my web business. Drawing is a commpletely alien exercise to me, but I feel I need to learn it to add to my skillset.Anyway, I was wondering if anyone else on the list draws or engages in any other visual or other arts. If you do, do you think practicing one helps your skill in the other, or maybe hinders it? I am wondering if learning to draw will affect my photgraphy at all. Amita
I draw (and engage in other visual arts). Anything that encourages you to be more aware of line, tone, balance, the interaction of positive and negative space, etc., can only help you with your photography, too. Consider taking more drawing classes and some composition classes, also. In fact, you might want to see if one of the schools in your area offers any Ad Art (advertising art) classes. Designing logos is something you'll get lots of practice at.
