This is the library of the Hospital, where you can go to the categorized area to search for the tutorials, references and links you need to improve your art. The docs and nurses may refer you to these areas as they see fit for your needs.
Organizer:
Admin -- if working from a backup, overwrite the backup with the live copy before editing & updating. This keeps us from overwriting each other's updates.
To submit reference links, please send it to us in a NOTE - it's much easier for us that way.
To submit yourself as a patient, please read the Hospital Journal on the front page for the rules before applying in a NOTE.

Hey, is there a "Recommended Books" section yet? Maybe books don't fit the focus of the Hospital, seeing as they cost money, but they can be sooo helpful. (And if you're lucky, the library may have them.)
I've been helped a lot by the following titles:
How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way by Stan Lee & John Buschema
-An oldie but goodie. Most artists will outgrow this book very quickly, but it can't be beat for explaining the basics. It's great for kids too. I've always been interested in drawing, but this book got me "going" so to speak. (Sorry; the link for this one didn't work)
Tadashi Ozawa's How to Draw Anime & Game Characters series, volumes 1-5
-Volume 1 is probably the most helpful, but they're all very nice books, and there is a lot of information and drawings packed into each volume. The tone of the series is encouraging, with a "you can do it" attitude. Unfortunately they can be hard to find.
The Artist's Complete Guide to Facial Expression by Gary Faigin
-This one helped me draw convincing expressions. It goes into a lot of detail on bones and muscles, so it's rather heavy for new beginners, but if you can avoid getting bogged down in the details it's quite informative.
And for artists who need reference poses (I always need reference), I recommend People and Poses, by Buddy Scalera.
-It has a lot of good photos (of both male and female models) in various typical comic book poses -- fighting, standing, wounded, etc -- plus a CD with additional photos. No nudity -- tight shorts and (for the women) tank tops; while that's a drawback for learning anatomy, I appreciate not having to worry about leaving the book out where my brothers can see it.
Please do use the pass to log in and update these tutorials to the category they belong to. Thanks for posting.

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
Each day we will feature 10 deviations from the Literature categories in a News Article. In order to support the artists that we feature, we ask that you the news article as well as check out the individual pieces. We understand that each day you may not be able to check out each and every one of the pieces, everyone has their own things going on. We just ask that you make an attempt to help support the growing Literature community.
When it comes to community spirit, `Rushy is a shining example. From participating in devmeets, to providing positive encouragement to other artists, `Rushy can always be found demonstrating what it really takes to be a true deviant. It's without any hesitation that we are delighted to award the Deviousness Award for July 2009 to `RushyRead More
