How do i learn to draw/sketch!!!!!!!

 

[wowfucktron]

Pick up a pencil. Draw everyday. Prepare to fuck up a lot. Continue despite fucking up. Eventually you will get there.

Learn how to draw on paper before learning how to use a tablet.

Let's assume you're cheapskate and skip obvious "get the f'ckn' art courses" thing.

* Pencil, eraser and paper. You will need a lot of this :)
* Buy (read "download") essential books like Figure Drawing: Design and Invention and/or The Art of Animal Drawing. Very good for basic things.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.
* Buy (read "download") essential books like Anatomy for the Artist and/or An Atlas of Anatomy for Artists. With this you will learn how to draw human body without major fuck-ups. Strength Training Anatomy isn't drawing book but very good for understanding how human body works.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.
* If you are planning for more than lineart and sketches then books like Color and Light will help.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.
* Practice a lot.

Edit: at later stages of your learning curve some extra books are good but not essential :) Similar books in japanese also exists

Edit2: bolded titles are not the only books available. There's a lot of other books :)

Step 1: pick a center point.
Step 2: mark out a basic frame for what you want to draw.
Step 3: try and look for things that will help you put things in the right place, ie the niples line up with your ears
