People ask for advice about learning to draw and so I decided to post this again.

THE CHART!
Make a month to month chart and pick areas you want to grow in.
When you study you are copying. Which is to say you are inserting new information in your noggin.

Now if you suck at lets say ..."hands" then make hands a category. This list can change over time so don't worry about taking on boring subjects.
My list here actually consists of mostly human subjects.

X=5
Pick a category and every time you draw 5 of a subject mark a "X" chances are good the more X's you have the better you will get.

Copy other artists/photos. If you think you will learn art from scratch that's like saying I will build a car without using any previous designs....good luck.
If you want to challenge yourself then copy 4 things then put away all reference and see what you picked up.


In time your needs and chart will change but try simple things just to see that you can learn.


BUY BOOKS
See my Journals for art books. Try to buy one art book a month visits to book stores are fun.

--Photo references-- like cheap coffee table books.
--anatomy books-- some are actually geared towards comic books.
--Comic trade paperbacks-- find a artist you wanna learn from.
--How to draw-- anything nowadays.
BE SURE TO READ THE BOOKS!!! don't just look at the pictures. Look into art theory as well as copying.

Keep your mood good and your attitude light. Otherwise negativity will build up like a unflushed toilet.

If you follow this I can guarantee art block will never happen. I always thought art block was when the ideas run out.

Don't shy away from new subjects like a wimp. Take it on.
