I still need help.

I'm still stuck at stick figures. I want to learn to draw, just like all those artists I admire, like Mommyspike, Kadath, Phantomlion, Max Dragon, Lysozyme, Furronika, Chris Sawyer, and all the othr greats. I'm tired of spending money to get the porn I want. I wanna make my own smut, dammit! Sure, I got those few stories, but I want to try my hand at visual naughtiness. Right now, I'm reading Drawing for Dummies. I also purchased the book, Figure Drawing for Dummies. Do I need to go through the former before I go through the latter? The former said that I need to access and exercise the right side of my brain to draw, which I think is my weakness. I guess being a corrections officer and dealing with the biggest assholes in Texas sorta beats down any creativeness one might have. Confucius say, give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for a lifetime. So, whoever teaches me to fish, er, I mean, draw, gets unlimited commissions from me if I leard to draw well.

I'm in the same boat though, can't draw worth a damn, but I used to be ok, now I stumble with stickfigures :(
