Drawing

Sun Apr 29, 2007, 3:11 PM
When I joined DA, I didn't actually see this coming. o.O Which is weird for me, because I am REALLY good at predicting things. Anyways, I've decided that I'm going to learn how to draw, because honestly, I'm tired of not being able to get pictures of some of my characters.

((comic-burn, you're still awesome! I'm talking about characters from other stories of mine that it would be impolite to ask you to draw!))


Thus, I went and got a book called "How to Draw in your own Manga Style". See, I don't want to draw CLAMP's way, or Ken Akamatsu's way, or Tite Kubo's way, or anybody else's style. I don't need to hear "do it exactly like this". <3 The book I got had better advice for teaching me how to draw.

"Sit down for 15 minutes a day and draw your hand." Sounds like good advice to me, since I am SUCH a beginner. *Laughs* I'm actually doing it. Once I can get a digital camera or a scanner, I'll post some of what I have. And don't worry, I'll have at least one picture that isn't a hand.



In the meantime, anybody know a tutorial for how to draw faces? I CANNOT draw a good face to save my life. >.<

^^ Awesome.

I think learning to draw is a good idea for you. I'm not familiar with that particular book. But I would recomend the most classic of book series. That's right, good old "How to Draw Manga." This is the most popular and probably the best overall series. I recommend any that are written by "K's Art" or "Go Office"
