So Psibat noticed my art... improvements? And decided to come to me for tips. Now, considering I'm: -No good at teaching. -Lazy. -Focused more on realism at the moment. -Nucking futs insane. I decided to see If we could all teach one another a little sumtin sumtin. Kay? Kay.
A lot of you guys seem to like to draw peoples and stuff, and faces or whatever. I hope you guys have patience because, not to sound like, cocky or anything, practice day and night year after year to be at my level.
Couple o' tips:-The stick figure anatomy rule applies in real people too. Legs>Torso>Head. -When shading with pencil, shade in everything lightly. Then darker in the places that need it. -In things like color, you may want to add the most random of color to make it look right. Example of this: Clouds are actually Gray, blue, and yellow. In all different shades of each, smudgied together and given a billowy feel. -Also look at some other tutorials from people online or on deviantart.
For everyone else: Make your own random tutorials, on whichever program you want, anything to help everyone. And remember: "If you can draw a perfect human figure, you are a master and can draw anything."

"If you can draw a perfect human figure, you are a master and can draw anything."
I wholeheartedly disagree. Humans may be difficult to draw, but mastering only the human figure does not make you a master of art. There are other things to draw, and while humans may make drawing other things easier, it doesn't make it to where you can draw everything decently right off the bat.
I personally feel like my human figures are pretty ok, but I can't draw environments for shit. Or animals. I can basically draw people and objects.

I always feel that if you have a visual example in front of you, you can draw it better. Helps with details.

drychris it's called referencing. Yeah, doing that is always helpful for drawing new things or detail.

I was always told that: "Noone can tell you how to draw" and that you have to find your own style.
Which is neccesarily true. Although, looking through other people's art will help give you tips on the right way how.

I agree with Candied Úbe, human form is only a a small branch on the metaphorical great oak of art. If you only ever go about drawing people you are missing out on environments and landscapes, architecture, design, perspective, rhythm, flow, focus points, value, color...EVERYTHING. But human form is a very important branch, if you'd like to succeed in it I'll leave you with this book, it's more than 60 years old but still one of the best on the market. fineart.sk/index.php?s=0&cat=12I always feel that if you have a visual example in front of you, you can draw it better. Helps with details. Most artists use references when drawing and that's fine. Drawing from life can be one of the best ways of learning, even without a class, you can just put any old object on a table, get a good direction of lighting and focus in.
