    You would be a great art teacher. I wish I had the honor of working with you. I have always separated my doodles from my sketching and now you have shown me they should be one and the same. I will take your advice. The thing you said about doodling while on the phone, I do that ALL the time :) thank you very much.

    same here ..i noticed that i started seing the different tones in objects i got so excited…. because i can only draw the outline of only cartoon pictures…not real objects…maybe because the tones are what make up the object in the firstplace….if so then i’m making some progress :D

    It takes a lot of time to achieve a certain level of greatness in arts. I have practised for about 4 years now and I am just recently starting to see something that would call progress, like proper progress. Of course it depends on your talents.

    I’m more of a person who just likes doing art rather than being talented in it

    Good Drawing is …
    Good Drawing is Good SEEING. The most important step in a drawing is the 30 seconds or so before you make a mark on the paper. Your eye is the boss….your hand works for it. Try this and see if it doesn’t help:

    Stare at what you want to represent on paper and get a feel for the directions of the key lines and biggest parts of the form(s).

    The first lines you make should be super-light and short. Map it out a bit.

    Talk to yourself and coach gently, like you would to a little kid. Don’t quit!
