i'm a concept artist for games and movies by day, but i'm trying to get back into the habit of drawing for the sake of drawing again. here's some old caricatures and portraits and sketches of peeple. new stuff soon. i just felt the need to contribute...   http://thebraintoad.blogspot.com/ |

A good start would be to find some fundamental "learn to draw" type courses being given at local art schools, galleries, etc. Once you've got the basics covered a life drawing course is an absolute must. A big part of drawing, especially living things is having a thorough understanding of scale and anatomy. I'm an art school dropout and i haven't picked up a pencil since i quit. It sucked every ounce of enjoyment out of it for me. I wish i had just kept it as a hobby  Great work though! |

thanks dudes, windedsailor wrote: i envy you you do great work. any tips for people who have tried time and time again to learn how to draw.not a very good teacher, but i can tell you i have stacks of art books (never went to art school) and i've picked up at least a few things from each one. and I have practiced a lot of life drawing, especially portraits and figure studies. but i also try to draw from memory/imagination, too. i find that drawing from life then immediately drawing from memory helps me lock it in. i do a lot of gesture and contour drawings too. i used to use guide lines and cylinders/stickmen a lot to start out a drawing, then i met a guy who just draws without much regard for construction lines (aka the natural way to draw). i've been doing it that way ever since. some other old ones:

hello again. I'm forcing myself to start working on nonwork stuff again, and kind of breaking down my process at the same time. did i ever post any of this concept crap? well anyway...      been using Google Sketchup a lot at work and wanted to see how far I could take it. I wouldnt normally use this much, though.  10-20 minute life drawing. Hope to start doing this 2-3 times a week from now on. first one in over a year (rusty!)
