Anybody Good at Drawing

If you have any comic shops around you, head there and see if they offer anything. My comic shops have saturday things where people can get together and help everyone out. They do writers work shops too, which i love.

Other than that there are a ton of classes like this during summer, but they cost money.

Gaf, I'm jealous haha! I can do figure drawing but I suck at drawing like backdrops and stuff.

@Dustin, just keep looking at examples if you have to man. Eventually, you'll be able to do it from memory - or at least, that's how I learned.

Here's a picture of Wolverine I drew a while back:

yes, i do now...i found it keeps things looking accurate....and another good way to tell if a drawing looks correct in perspective it to draw on thin paper, then once the drawin is finished flip the page over and see if it looks right when its 'mirrored' ....because your eyes adjust to the way you draw, and flipping it give a whole 'new perspective'

you will notice that digital artist do it also, they will mirror the image they are working on to get a better overall view of it.

Check out some practicing ive been doing, this is while looking at things lol.


Im proud of that one. If you cant make out what it is, go look at Metallica's ..and justice for all cover lol.


Was looking at a gun (note the lines are straight, the angle i took the picture made them curved)

your style has very simplistic lines, and cartoon / anime style....the gun lacks detail for me...and not a huge fan of the trigger section....could do with more detail and scale adjusting.

here's what i mean by detail....i know i skimp out on details in some areas, i can be quite lazy with stuff in the distance. Also i need to work on scale of things in distance etc....but i leave it for the next sketch etc.

Done with pencil and scanned in.


i am working on another sketch with a desert / canyon scene vibe...just need to do a bit more details and scan it in.

Yeah i try to do that but i fail lol. I didnt scan mine, i took a picture with an average camera, so your missing alot of details too. Like in the metallica one i have cracks on all the bones and stuff, but i know what you mean as its not as in depth.

man thts better than anything i can do. ima see if i can find the pic of drew of michael jackson (looked at pic of course)

EDIT: how do i upload pics on here from my comp

Go to photobucket or imageshack and upload them there. It will give you a " [IMG]" code for the picture, copy and paste that here.

oh do i have to have an acoount on there

One of them you dont, i forget which one

Photobucket requires you to register for a free account but the basic free account is more than enough for almost anyone who needs such a service, from the looks of it Imageshack you can just straight upload to and they host your images for anyone to see where Photobucket allows you some control of your photos, allows you to get basic statistics of who views your photos and keep all your uploaded photos in one place where Imageshack doesn't.

finished my latest sketch and also found time to scan it in.

Did a picture of Big Boss and Gene facing off from MGS Portable Ops. Tried to mimic Ashley Wood's style, but with mixed results.

thats pretty good it could use some touch ups but other than that its pretty nice
