Hi, this is my first post in Zaibatsu. Thought it might be cool to write a couple art tips.
First of all if you don't like pencilling art then you might as well pass this up since that's my medium (and I'm damn proud of it too).
Drawing requires a very relaxed hand, so if you find yourself trying to sketch anything from Kazuya Mishima, to a red Camaro you'll need to relax. People who draw or even write tense will notice inconsistency in the lines (squiggles, or zigzags, etc) as well as really dark lines.
I was once told "A real artist never erases" this is wrong. I've made some beautiful drawing through much trial and error, and I allowed myself room to do this by drawing relaxed bright lines.
Most people want a really clean smooth drawing, and that's why I think so many people flock to computers, but you need to know control and have basic knowledge to master the simple yet powerful pencil.
I'll be sure to post more if anyone else wants my insight on drawing with pencils. If you'd like you can check out my homepage at
http://www.geocities.com/jrtien to see some of my drawings. I don't color much any more because it just takes too long (colored pencils), but I'm thinking of making my own drawing lesson's up since there are so many crappy art books out there. I'm not saying the people who made the books can't draw, but they certainly cannot teach.
