I CAN'T DRAW SENTIMENTS

Tue Oct 6, 2009, 7:15 PM
Hi everyone. Before anything else, want to say that "I AM STILL ACCEPTING COMMISSIONS - Rates after this post.":D.

Again, I'm back and still have pain (terrible) on my left ankle. I will go back to visit a doctor within this week, latest would be on Saturday. Hope nothing serious. I'm a HYPER DAWG. I can't be placed in one corner and be still. I Love moving around. I love doing with my hands. She said I'm a restless person. What gave her that idea. Mwah! :love: Love my wifey so much.:love: hehehe!

Anyway, regarding my topic header that "I Can't Draw". I read alot of them here and to some other sites and it made me wonder, how can they say that to them. I mean, we are all created to learn and create stuff. I'm not a good comicbook artist, but I am enjoying myself to draw stuff. So, to those people (mostly kids), here are some tips stuff to remember first before you say that you can't draw.

Here goes....

Number One:
Always remember...Anyone who can hold a pencil/pen/brush or pallet..either with hands, Arms, foot or mouth CAN DRAW, CAN PAINT and create.

Number Two:
It's your will power to teach yourself to learn how to draw. Some are blessed and some are talented that's for sure, but we can teach our selves the basics/foundation of drawing (either figure drawing, animals, architectural stuff and so on and on). There's alot of site here that offers online teaching bout comics.
You can download this bookChristopher Hart: Cutting edge Anatomy [link] It's for free.

And I learn some good stuff here aslwell...LEAR TO DRAW COMICS: [link]

Number Three:
PRACTICE. PRACTICE.
Practice.
...and p r a c t i c e.
I doodle on my mini sketch pad when I am goin to work. Going home. In-between office break. I don't stop teaching myself and I never stopped correcting myself. I don't consider or look at my latest work as my greatest work, mind you. Heck not everyone here are perfect.

Usually, after a week or two, there, I will look back at my previous art and there I would start seeing flaws on my work. And that's when I feel much better, knowing where my mistakes are and figuring out what went wrong and then what to do to correct it the next time. That doesn't stopped me from improving. That's my driving force to do well the next time...but still I don't see my work as good as the other works here and in the comics industry.

Number Four:
HAVE A LONG PATIENCE!
That's the key. And don't criticize the works of others unless they asked for one. Remember to respect others work.

Hope this helps. Now..get a pen and start practicing. :D

I agree. What you said are absolutely right. It all depends if you are willing to learn or not. So wag makinig sa mga nanlalait. Insecure lang sila! =P

So this means that I am not willing to learn how to draw! Marunong naman ako mag drawing - style na pang-kinder. Hahaha. Makuntento na lang raw ako sa pagsulat. :XD:

Hi! Musta na?

Art appreciation is/are subjective nmn base sa tumitingin. I love tose kind of artwork too. Gusto ko din matuto nun ala Tim Burton style o di kaya yun mga nasa old FUNNY COMICS" artworks.

Thanks sa pag daan.:D
