can you help me? I can't draw!

[ettieman]

here's a chibi drawing from me can you give some advice to make my drawings better???
(and I know the legs are fucked up)

[Mightydein]

try drawing everyday objects you see in real life until you get it right. all you gotta do is practice and if you do drawings with less detail for a long time.

it will dumb your drawings.

so just practice and read blogs written by cartoonists as study.

[test-object]

Don't start any form of manga before you learn the basics first. Your proportions and shading are horrible. Don't press so hard on your pencil. Practice.

now, BMK, was that helpful or WHAT?

Use an ancient power called patience...and practise

[ettieman]

I know that from the shading but thanks for the comments already i will work at it.

I go to that blog all the time. you can learn a lot from that blog and i never tried any of the drawing exercises there.

another bit advice i'd recommend is talking to your peers over the internet.

I generally turn to some of my friends on the internet for constructive criticism so i can make better flashes.

Just talk to any artist willing to take time out of there busy internet lives to talk to you because they can offer you a lot of wisdom.

you need a mix of artists and non artists giving you criticism since at the end of the day your goal to entertain people on the internet.

peace out everyone and good luck to all our budding artists.
