Hey how can i get better on drawing?
What you want to do is practice. Everyday. Draw things around you: people, animals, objects. Observe closely, observe colors, shadows, textures. Don't start out with anime, start off with learning real human anatomy. A nice website I like to throw around is this one: http://fineart.sk/index.php?cat=1 . It features some nice drawing books available online for free.

for beginners, i'd say draw animals


such as dogs, cats, birds, mostly uncomplicated animals.


to get better at drawing faces- lemme let u know now, are are various ways u can draw heads then just add the eyes, nose, and etc.


just practice practice practice on all of these things


then, u'll be able to move on to the bodies and stuff
Reply:PRACTICE. When I was in high school, I took a beginning drawing class and I practiced all the time. Well, it wasn't really practice since I liked it so much, but I just spent A LOT of time drawing.





It's often easier for a lot of people to copy images, rather than real-life people/objects. I bought two or three drawing books--nothing too fancy--that had sketches and pictures, and just spent time copying those.





You won't really notice that you're getting better, but now that I haven't been drawing for the past four or five years, I'm an "okay" drawer, but not nearly as good as I used to be.





I'd suggest starting with faces/bodies, etc (they can be SO much harder than they seem), then work on anime after you get the basics taken care of.





Good luck!!
Reply:You may be better than you let on. I suggest keeping a pad and paper in your laptop bag. Thank God for laptops because I come from a generation that only women carry a handbag. I know this sounds terrible, but a good way to draw people is to practice on nude drawings. I suggest Playboy and Playgirl because their pictures are tasteful and cheaper than taking a class with a nude model. I suggest also drawing alot of still life of plants, flowers and landscapes. draw cars and airplanes too. The point is to have fun and doing what you love to do is great. I have a great instructor who allows me to doodle in class because it keeps the fingers in practice and I concentrate better. maybe you can start a comic series and let your imagination go wild and actually make a profit.
Reply:There are lots of books that can help you as well as practice. One that I recommend is , "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way by Stan Lee and John Buscema." This book talks about art in general and drawing to illustrate comics.
Reply:Practice,practice,practice.Only thing is bad practice will produce bad drawings,good practice will produce good drawings.There's a friend of mine that I.m helping out right now and his problem is that he draws the outline of something and then fills it in, leaving his drawings very stiff and lifeless.I'm trying to get him to loosen up a little bit and have fun with his drawing.Maybe that's the way you should approach it.Look into drawing books from the library and pick up useful habits that would apply to you.
