Dope Antelope 0 Posted August 3, 2013 What is the best way to learn how to draw? Now imagine the level of skill a handcuffed crab would have.... that is the level i am on. Any suggestions? Would love to be able to draw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stewart Robson 202 Posted August 3, 2013 Mental effort. Hard work and repetition. In my opinion drawing (like most 'creative' endeavours) is roughly: 30% physical, 60% mental (around two thirds of this percentage is learning to 'see' the rest is thinking and analysing) 10% talent.

Hogrider 1,660 Posted August 3, 2013 Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. Get the book and work your way though it. My wife teaches drawing and used it to teach me. I couldn't draw a stick figure before this, now I just suck! :-) Dope Antelope 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shannon Shirley 6 Posted August 4, 2013 wow that's quite a question.....perseverence from an early age.....tattooing is not a reason to start drawing in my opinion, drawing for the sake of drawing ,awesome....but I should hope that's not youre angle.
