NOTE:
*To sketch or not to sketch? Great little discussion at CORE 77 (wonderful design site).
*Drawing From A Photograph... The Debate of Historical Precedent.
*Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (March 30, 1746 – April 16, 1828) - arguably the "Father of Modern Art" - created a set of 80 aquatint prints during the 1790s called Caprichos. I encourage a visit to the copy in The Arno Schmidt Reference Library.
