so, we are the same age(15 kinda sucks XP but lets not say that). don't say you don't want to live longer just because of lack skills. no no no no no, that is sad to hear. if i am corrcet i have been doing the drawing thing for around 5 or 6 years, as you will get better and better. just do the following things:
-Pratice like they say "pratice make perfect"
-never give up! sore losers give up, and you are not a sore loser. take your time! as for me, drawing takes hours on my hand to get the picture from my head to the paper(or monitor).
-Take Critiques or "C+C". this is the most helpful tool, another person's view. if you can see the mistake, they can! and its good to have honesty here my friend. don't refuse it, no matter how harsh it can sound!
-Tutorials are good. go to a search engine and search for some. pick up a darwing book from the library and go through with it....REPETIVILY.
- ASK!, if you need a hand, ask for it! there are really good people out there that will do that *cough*me*coughcough*. just send them over a message and the help will fall. remember "two heads are better then one"
-look at other peoples work, studying technique is rad! not copy, but study (like a book, or that stupid math test that you have to take tomorrow ... ha jokes >3< ). i tend to do this, and some times to actual photos of people.
as i will be watching! cause i am so nice. imma just a guide that give love to people woot! if you need a hand, just ask me. i have no problem with it ♥
