Drawing tutorials on the internet?

[viggosmor]

Hi everyone...

I want to start learning how to draw in hand, and i was wondering if there was any beginner tutorials, that show you step by step the proper technics?

I have a friend how wants to loan me some drawing books, but i was just wondering how you all got started?
And if there was some nice/good tutorials on the net?

Thanks

Well i wont be of much help because i cant draw at all.... But i would assume its the same as learning any other art related medium

You start however good you are, and gradually get better the more pencil time you get.

anybody else?

This would be my advice. I still can't draw to any real standard but I practice every day drawing whatever comes to mind. Depends what you want to draw really, if you're drawing straight from your imagination anything goes but its good practice to try some still-life style things, to get an idea of lighting, form etc. I'd also suggest a mannequin if you want to draw characters, mine has been absolutely invaluable for understanding how the body moves.

Overall though, keep practicing, dont ever let than pencil leave your hand!

A good instructional book is "Drawing on the right side of the brain"

It was the textbook for one of my art classes.... concentrates on teaching you to draw what exists rather than what you think you see.
