Ask HN: How to learn the art of web design?
Learning html, css, and programming languages are straight forward. I am asking how to get started on learning how to draw beautiful layouts, shapes, and user interfaces. Thanks in advance.

once you know how to use the tools, it is good to learn some theory... for layouts check out Grid Systems in Graphic Design, it gives you a very Swiss approach for building a grid and then fitting content to it.
Khoi Vinh is another guy to look up, he heads up design for nytimes.com and is a huge proponent of using grids his site is www.subtraction.com
Also, learn about typography. Elements of Typographic Style is supposed to be best.
