June 30, 200816 yr Maybe you had better look into becoming an illustrator for books MB......as a profession
June 30, 200816 yr Author My only issue is that I have to have an image to draw from such as a photo, I can't just draw what is in my head. Maybe with a bit more practice I could though...
June 30, 200816 yr I draw too I mean not as good as you but I draw My drawing of George Jr for my art.
June 30, 200816 yr Author That's great Jodie, I actually like that style but cant draw it. For some reason it has to be true to life for me or it just doesn't work when I try and put it on paper. And a couple more I just did then, I'm a little bored tonight I think Edited June 30, 200816 yr by melbournebudgies

July 1, 200816 yr Practice makes perfect. What I do, is I really study animals and how they are formed. Then I Picture them in my head, by being able to know where their joints are and how long different parts are and their proportions, It makes it much easier to do. Study skeletons. Being a vet student certainly helps me, as now I not only know where joints and bones are but I know where and what their muscles look like. If you can form a 3d model in your head and rotate it, you're set. I would suggest having a sketch book you carry everywhere and drawing in it any time, even when it is one of those random doodles you do when you are on the phone. Try drawing things with out pictures for reference for a while. This is what you want to get better at, so practice it. Don't care if you think it looks stupid. You will always think that when you are starting out and they won't be good as you want them to be when you first start. I've been painting since I was 5 (maybe younger, can't remember >.<) and I don't think my pictures are stupid, because I know they are not. You have to make some "stupid ones" to make awesome ones. I also do studies of different parts too. I will draw a leg or a foot or just a head. Whatever I want to practice on and I won't make it a pretty picture with composition, it is just a study. It's how Leonardo Da Vinci did it too. Sometimes it helps to draw a skeleton and flesh it out, or imagine your subject moving. Edited July 1, 200816 yr by Sailorwolf
July 1, 200816 yr haha. I'm an evil selfish child. I don't like to share (worried they will be copied).
July 1, 200816 yr Author After you scan them in you can always use an editing program to write something across them so no one will want to copy them. Alternatively put copyright on the bottom of all of them and sue the pants off anyone who does copy them
July 1, 200816 yr Fine. Your powers of persuasion have overtaken me. An old sketch from my sketch book This is one I'm working on currently hence the reason I have only worked on its head. The rest of him is undetailed, it just has a base colour I'll just go find my favourite Here's my favourite: It's a tui, I've never finished it Edited July 1, 200816 yr by Sailorwolf
