For the bit about the readability, can you elaborate? Do you mean the "COSTS 1 CREDIT" in the graphic itself?

Yes "COSTS 1 CREDIT" is not very readable, I had trouble finding the info even after you told me it was on this page. Perhaps you could put it outside of the illustration...

I'll add that to my list of things to fix.

Sketching: The Basics
A lot of folks have heard about Scott Robertson's "How to Draw" - it's basically a classic at this point, and deservedly so. It's also a book that a lot of people struggle with, for the simple reason that they expect it to be a manual or a lesson plan explaining, well... how to draw. It's a reasonable assumption, but I've found that book to be more of a reference book - like an encyclopedia for perspective problems, more useful to people who already have a good basis in perspective.
Sketching: The Basics is a far better choice for beginners. It's more digestible, and while it introduces a lot of similar concepts, it does so in a manner more suited to those earlier in their studies.
