Mockingbirdflyaway... I cannot thank you enough for posting these. Wow. I went through Makani's links, and yes, she's funny. Made me laugh, and it was so helpful. And I also went through all the Furiae tuorials... *falls over in amazement* Struck by lightning struck by lightning! (this comment will only make sense if you've read the Hobbit) Just wow. I've learnt so much already, and I can't wait to apply them to my drawings.

Thankyou, thankyou again!

Edit: I went through most of the others. Just as impressed, and I never would have found these on my own. Thanks again! EVERYONE!!! READ THEM! IT'S WORTH IT!!!

I'm glad you appreciate them I hope everyone else will find them useful. One thing that's good to do is to find artists whose style you like, along with pictures of people in different poses or doing different actions and copying things from them freehand (i.e. NOT tracing) for practice, because then you get a feel for how and where things go that you can apply to your original drawings later on.

I have a few references on how to draw dragons linked online - are these appropriate to post up here ?

Thank you, thank you soooooo much. I've been strugling and strugling to draw dragons. All of mine end up like goats for some reason. lol

That, "How to Draw Manga" site was so helpfull but maybe when i pick up my japanese exchange student she could help me with manga. thanks for the sites!

Thanks for taking the time to find all these Mockingbird! This really helps me, since I only recently took interest in drawing people. I can draw a face, but not much else. So for now, I'm stuck with portraits. Hopefully that won't be so for long.

Thank you, again.

Does anybody have a good tutorial for how to draw feet/legs/boots. I hate feet and I need to learn not to.

[Arthryn]

I'll add 'the world around you' as a drawing resource.

Darth, what could benefit you is having a friend or sibling stand barefoot so you can observe and draw their feet (drawing your own feet is hard) and legs. You can even get a ruler and measure the length, how high the ankle bone is, how long the big toe is, and take note of those ratios for future reference. Drawing isn't so much about finding a tutorial and following it, while you can do that, a deeper understanding and observation of your subject matter is extremely helpful.

Wow, I'm speechless! Frosty says thank you a hundred times over! I bookmarked this page so I can get to these Tuts quickly. Thanks so much!!
