Forums IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ Genius Code Direct Learning to... Draw?

So far no luck, but I'm not giving up just yet!

My goal is mostly in the area of magna, mainly for fun.

Anyone think maybe my purpose is flawed? I basically state that "My purpose is to be able to draw better". Any suggestions for a better one maybe?

Hi,

This comes to mind: Draw what? (manga, yeah, but it includes lots of other things.. storylines, planning each picture, deciding what is it you want to say with each picture... (sorry, my english, didn't know how to exactly say these things)).

And: better than what? Who?

How do you know when you draw better? What is a certain sign you know you draw better? And what then?

Do you want to have a style of your own, distinguished from other styles?

Keep it up! Maybe it is.. you could start with ordinary drawing and use the skills in drawing manga?

2 €cents again ;-)

Well I can just add that I also have the Betty Edwards book.It's really good and was the main one I used.Just google "Betty Edwards" and you'll br 'right'

Excellent site: RateMyDrawings
It's not just about rating drawings. One really cool feature is the ability to watch a drawing come into creation. It really gets you thinking in a right brain way.

Enjoy!
