Drawing, like writing, is considered by many people to be one of those magical skills that some people are 'just born with'. Don't believe it! DrawSpace, created by Brenda Hoddinott, a self-educated artist (be sure to check out her About page), offers lots of bite-size lessons to help anyone become competent at drawing. From hatching to caricatures, there is something to help an artist of any level, and a thriving forum section lets you find feedback or commiseration. The lessons are free, though registration is required. (VF)
