Formerly known as 'Animemaster'
Go through the basic tutorials on anime-style figure drawing, and try to keep to the order.
I've had a college-level life drawing class and I still draw placement lines for the limbs, spine and hips.
The two most important things: Practice, Practice, Practice and Reference, Reference, Reference.
I'm serious, try to draw at least 20 minutes every day, it's just like training any other muscle group.
Secondly, when you're just starting out, try finding a character in a pose similar to the one you want and don't copy the pose, just use it for guidance. Try printing it out, and drawing the main structure lines overtop of it. If you do this so that you can't see exactly every line in the original, it will help keep your drawing fresh but still use the same guidlines as the original reference.
I try to draw, it just goes straight to hell [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/img]
It was a time I could draw - kinda, but I stopped and now I draw when I'm bored half to death.
But;
Do I draw the outlines? Of the pose??
I've never used placement lines in any of my drawings, but for people without experience i guess it helps; most tutorials i've seen had them, so yeah. Like Lasaire said, "practice practice and reference reference", two important things u shuld remember. If you want to improve, try and learn by imitating other peoples work; and when u get good enuf, u can utilize it into your own original style. That's how i did it anyway.

indeed.
I wish I knew wut pixel was --
Well I've always been able to draw since I have been for as far back as I can remember but some things you can try is drawing what the figure will look like with circles like the head then the body etc so everything is proportionate then put in detail. My friend always starts with the eyes first but I usually start with the lower part of the head then add hair when I'm done with most of the face. Also you can try drawing just body parts all the time over and over like hands in different positions arms, head, etc. Also what I heard helps is drawing upside down which I guess allows you to see mistakes you make, or looking at a drawing upside down.
Basically the way i draw, i start with the eyes as well. I dont turn the pic upside down to see mistake though (when i look at my pic upside down, kinda makes it look better), what i do is look at my drawing through the back of the paper; the mistakes are usually obvious looking at the drawing this way.Originally posted by: -Sharingan-Kakashi-
