Learning to draw

I haven't posted in a while, so I thought I'd post part of a discussion I had with someone today. My friend at work was asking me how to "learn" how to draw. My suggestion was to start with a character where you can clearly see the construction. I told him to spend a month or so every day just drawing one character. Something like the examples below:




Later, artist found clever graphic ways to hide the construction, but if you've learned the earlier style, you can find it under the surface. That's why I recommended not starting with something like this. It's harder to find the construction.

Hollywood

So, I've just been posting photos, but here are a few drawings from this Saturday. We went to Hollywood Blvd.

Farmer's Market

Little Tokyo

We had some super talented artist this week. Christie Tseng's sketchbook is quite possibly the most amazing thing I've ever seen. Makes me want to draw more Anime!!!
Ian's stuff is always sick as well! And of course Dan the man, who is currently updating his blog. C'mon Dan!

Saturday sketch sessions

So, I'll be doing these every Saturday for the rest of the term at CDA,(the next 6 weeks). To find out where we are going to meet up, just hit me up on Facebook.

Anthony Holden, Nate Villanueva, and Francesco Castelli came out and did some awesome drawings!
