I have a few questions for everyone. How did you learn to draw? Was it just lots of practice, or did you take a class? I have always wanted to be an artist, but I'n not at all good with a pencil. I am pretty good at drawing cartoon images if I have something to look at, that's pretty much it though. Lol!


Well, I've always loved to draw , especially animals , and I use photo refrences from google to help me draw and notice details of animals. I browse on devianart alot and look at tutorials. I also go on this websie called chickensmoothie.com which has amazing artists, so I learn from them too. I try and look at my older drawings and see how I improve my art.
 
Hey all. Loving most of the drawings here. There in lots of talent on this forum!
I'm a photography major and graphic design minor at my college. I've taken various art classes for my minor but have mostly skipped around drawing until now.
I'm in drawing I and I'm loving it! I had been intimidated but now the challenge is fun. Doesn't hurt that I have an amazing professor.
Anywho. They aren't amazing but here are some charcoal drawings on newsprint.

I practiced and practiced and practiced. For awhile, I just drew horses. Then for Christmas I got two new drawing books, one for humans and one for animals. I usually can't do drawing books, but these really helped me! Two things that really, really, really, helped me- 1.) Your mind has a problem with seeing things as they are. once you draw a thing once, you usually draw it that way again and again- you mind likes to put things in patterns. You have to see past the patterns and actually draw what you see. Does that make sense? 2.) Lines are an artists biggest enemy- if you want to draw real people for example, you don't want to use line lines. I draw the lines lightly and either erase them after I have the part shaded in, or shade them into the drawing. the only line I use is for in between the lips.
