[quote name='shadd01']I go to an art school, and i think that looks pretty good. One bit of advice to improve your drawing skills is to draw from life, whether it be people objects or even pictures. The more you draw from life as oppossed to drawing from you head will improve your drawing skills a lot, good luck!!

This kinda puzzles me. Isn't it harder to draw from your head than from something you're looking at in real-life? And doesn't practicing something hard improve your skills more? For instance, I drew everything there from my head except the ears and eyes, I ran into the bathroom and took a quick look of my own for those two parts. I then did the eyes and ears real quick because I had a fresh image in my mind. Also, if I got a recent drawing from my mind, and a recent drawing from real-life, you could easily tell because the real-life sketch is better. Most times, I only have very small flaws when I draw real-life sketches. IDK, you're the expert, I guess I'm just missing something...
[quote name='Greyman7']If you are seriously interested in being an animator, there are a couple things that you can study now to give yourself a great foundation to work from. First, it's important to know anatomy, not only of humans, but also of animals. Second, it's crucial for you to have a strong understanding of perspective and scale.
These are just two basic areas of study to get you started, without making you feel too overwhelmed. And, don't worry about what anyone else says, draw what you love.[/quote]
:lol: , wow, you really hit the dot. Drawing the body below the chest is usually the hardest part for me and doesn't come out looking good. Also, a lot of times, I end up drawing something too big when compared to something that should be certain porportion. Like the ears too big and the eyes too small, something like that.
Thanks for the comment everybody.
