Drawing lessons

[Verruckter]

I noticed lots of you guys draw so nice pictures and stuff, and I wanted to know if you took drawing lessons or any other way to draw that good.

I think some PJ'ers have formal art training and others don't. But whichever the case, I think a passion for the art and the dedication to sit your butt down and just draw, draw, draw will do more for improving your skills than anything.

Art lessons are important for sure, and I wish I had taken some. But I think there are some fantastic artists on this board who've made it on a little bit of talent and a lot of hard work. It's all up to the individual artist.

Anyways, I think I'm rambling now. :)

Draw as much as you can, read as many art books as you can and if you have the opportunity, an art class or two can't hurt. Oh, and post art here on PJ, ask for crits and then pay attention when you get them, listen to opinions, formulate your own conclusions, and continue improving.
