Is there someone who still draws regularly and wants to give some tips to beginners?
I'm wanting to draw stuff to bring my fantasy to life. I always wanted to be good at it but it seems I just suck at it.
Thanks in advance.
Youtube is your best teacher!
I highly recommend you get into the basics first.
-Anatomy
-The face
-shadows
-perspective
This link really got me ahead leaps and bounds. He's an art teacher at some fancy schmancy college in NYC.

Once you know what the skeleton looks like underneath all that skin and muscle, it really makes it easier to make your drawings 'come to life'
It's a grind, but like with anything, the more you put into it, the better you will get!
Just do what I did, give up on ever drawing anything awesome like Thundersnow's work and shittily draw south park characters instead.
Ha that's actually pretty good.
But don't ever look at someone elses art and give up in frustration. I went to school with some of the most amazing artists I'd ever seen, and that feeling of "I'll never be that good" was overwhelming! But you gotta keep plugging away. Now they don't even draw anymore, and I'm making millions!
(Just kidding, artists are always poor, but I'm still drawin baby!!!)PS, Here's my latest page
