I am interested in learning how to draw images such as icons and graphics for web pages. All of the books I see for photoshop are for managing photos which is what photoshop is for. Is there any books on how to draw images? Are there any software packages that are better than photoshop for drawing?

thanks for the help

Yes, GOOGLE for drawing information, checking with your local library, and there is nothing better than the one you know best.

This is what you need to get thing started.

1. Get yourself a Tablet and spending few months to master the pen.

2. Then you can use Photoshop or just about any graphic program you know best.

That’s it! and depending on what type of drawing you can use Photoshop, the MicroSoft Paint comes with Windows, or just about thing program that you know best, and having some drawing skill.

And if you want to learn how to draw, then you may try the screen saver program called DrawingHand for displaying, and ArtStudio for drawing I believe the author has decided to give it free in order to sell the DrawingHand screen server displaying.

Taking it one step at a time, if you want to create icons, which is a whole different task than creating pictures, then GOOGLE "make icons". Really, you must be more specific.
