Started drawing again, and I'm having some trouble. Mainly, I think, because I'm fighting my natural style.
Most artists who have an anime-esque style draw clean and/or thick lines. I, on the other hand, cannot draw a straight line longer than an inch. Or a circle, for that matter. (Seriously, I tried. It had bumps in it.) I've always had thin, wispy strokes that give a sense of a sketch.
But I don't want my drawings to look like a sketch; I want them to look polished. But, apparently, I just can't force myself to draw a different way.
Also, I kind of suck at coloring. And backgrounds. And perspective. And drawing in Photoshop.
...I guess I have my work cut out for me.
start drawing lightly with a pencil, its okay to sketch so you get used to the dimensions.once you get more comfortable you'll be able to start darkening what you already drew. worry about the basic proportions most of all. you can practice polishing it off by scanning your penciled out work and then inking it with a pen, so you can better tell where what goes where.
