#－.－)Yaaaaaa I think I love it TO much ( and listen to my advice, never let the art work of another bring you down, because you can't improve by just being a downer; but SERIOUSLY there are some good work out there, and they are quite delectable ) 2 reply
Absolutely!!!!!!! I love drawing!!!!!!! I mostly like to draw anime characters from shows I like. But I also love drawing the characters I create. I do draw other things other than anime stuff though. I really wanna draw a yaoi couple that I create, but I would have to hide it from my parents. Anyway, here's some of my drawings (both anime and othe...... reply
Yes, I really do! But I love drawing huge manga eyes more than the bodies themselves! People have told me that my eyes are the most striking aspect to look at when I draw a pic, but I believe it will take me lots of practice to attain a level of mastery. Besides, I want to try realistic art as well. I have trouble with hands and parts of anatomy, b...... 2 reply
around 12 i guess. I was kinda exposed to the world of fujoshi and boy's love before that since I loved the Japanese boyband KAT-TUN. But only when i first found my way to this new libido did I truly understand and get so engrossed into this world. I actually was finding some quality hentai to read but there were so many stupid things that were no...... reply
Practice a lot. Watch tutorials and stuff. Learn anatomy from manga (no yaoi hands! ^^) and make sure you have fun while doing so. Refer google images whenever you are in doubt. Do it everyday, and you will become more fhan decent in a few years. Practice doing a specific pic untill you get it right. Spend some time with stuff gou have trouble with...... 3 reply
Been drawing shit when I was a brat lol. I love how one can escape from reality for a while when drawing. I usually draw with ink and pen tho bc I'm suck at coloring. Here's a drawing of mine, reference is a pic of a male model. I have a blog of sort too you can visit me there if you are interested http://blambodee.com/ 2 reply
Two things that I always keep in mind to improve my drawing. First is drawing everyday at anytime I can. Usually when I'm in classes or something like that lol ╮(￣▽￣)╭. Really, when I'm on holiday I draw much less than I normally do.
Secondly, observe and try to make a recreation on the paper of each and every single things around me at ...... reply
Well, to get a great skills on drawing we need to practice. However I am a lazy ass and procrastinating a lot, so I use a little push of motivation by doing art-trade. Me and a friend always give each other a request to draw something specific and make a due date to show the drawing. It makes our drawing-practices much more fun, and I slowly get be...... 2 reply
References, and observation.
Recently, someone asked me to draw a tractor, and at first it was ugly, because i didn't really knew how a tractor really looked like, so i just drew my idea of a tractor: 2 little wheels, 2 big wheels, a cabin on top.
But if you search "Tractor" on Google, you can see that there's actually much more.
So this is my advi...... 1 reply
The answer might be cliche but it really is true: practice a lot. I start my realistic drawing by imitating other's works. Only for practicing tho. And then when I finally get a full grasp of my drawing style, I start to draw what I want to. Sometimes I just absentmindedly draw something on my notebooks. The point is just make your hand get used to...... 2 reply
One drawing a day in a sketchbook. I mean observational drawing (I am not sure if it is the right word). It is a really good exercise, because at the beggining you will try to draw something beautiful, or inspiring but after a few weeks, you will get "bored" of drawing, and then, if you push yourself to do it, you will start to draw everything and ...... 2 reply
I wish I could draw better than I do, but I haven't spent enough time at it to truly develop a my skills/style yet. But what will make you better, to a degree, kind of depends on what drawing style you want. Abstract, surrealistic, simple black line, or whatever, but if you are interested in a realistic style of drawing - living things - I have a...... 1 reply
Practice is of course the best way to get better, but I know that sometimes I have trouble staying inspired.
For me, the best way to get inspired is to look at other people's art on tumblr and Pinterest; for example I like to look up character design on Pinterest. There's some pretty cool things on there!

Like others say, practice makes perfect. Keep practicing. You can see tutorials or something else, but practicing is the best way to improve (in my case). Because you can see how to draw something you still don't understand, but don't imitate how others draw it, draw it with your style, keep practicing and voila, then you will understand it yoursel...... 2 reply
(I know it's an obvious answer but that's all there is to it, I think) You have to draw a lot, whenever you have the chance! Tutorials are good but nothing beats lots of practice, and practice with real objects/people/places is the best for improving, it helps you understand how stuff works for real (I mean how lights and shadows work, how perspect...... 3 reply
It's funny, i asked the same question some time back and the answer i was given was keep practicing carry a sketchbook with you and draw every day(without fail if possible) anything that catches your eye preferably using a fountain pen, a dip pen in ink is even better. That trains you to learn to pick out the most important parts of an image first ...... 1 reply
I was 10 or 11, and I was captivated by it , but first I knew dj then anime and I wasn't reading manga so regularly because I didn't find where to, till this year , and even when I found out about gay communities I was really ok ( thought I'm the only in my family to think that). Being an otaku tought me a lot of things I know I can't survive with...... 1 reply
'Things' are your daily life experiences by which you get to know the world around you. Tell others about the things you did, may it be cool, sad, crazy or funny. You can also find things that you might want to do and a friend to do it with!
