Hello Boedy.

One of the best ways to get going would be starting a sketchbook on here in the sketchbook forum. That we people can see where you need help on.
There's also a tutorials section, as well as fine arts, studies and discovery. These sections have alot of tips on the fundamentals of drawing and painting.

Maybe participate in the weekly activities, also.

Welcome to CA. best wishes

1)Pencil
2)Paper
3)Determination
4)Some learnin'.

4a)Anatomy books
4b)Gun manuals
4c)National Geographic.

Draw from life. Everyday. Draw a lot. Even if you don't think it's good, keep drawing. Fill up every inch of paper, even if you are just scribbling. Draw animals and people and plants and buildings and guns and faces and hands and cars and landscapes, just don't stop.

When you stop, you never get where you want to go.

Good luck!

The best skills I think to start out with would be to learn to focus on objects while you're drawing instead of the paper you're drawing on(god I wish I could go back and get this into my subconcious earlier), and learning to have confidence in your lines.

To do this, just start drawing things you see everyday, like a can of soda or an eraser or whatever, but for 3/4ths of the time keep your eyes on what you're drawing and try to mimic the 3d shape. Learn to really SEE what you're drawing, and you'll go farther much faster.

As for the other thing, really think about your lines before you place them down. While drawing a wrong or misguided line is OK, putting down a million lines hoping to get lucky and find the right one is going to hurt you more than it will help you when you're just starting out. Spend the time to concentrate on placing the right line, and speed will come to you quickly.

Ask this question to yourself for the next 10 years (maybe for the rest of your life) and see where you are at.

WHO ARE YOU and WHY ARE YOU HERE?
(in this life)

Being a great drawer is pretty worthless if you don't have anything worth saying. Explore inside as much as you explore outside. Draw from both worlds - from reality and from your imagination. Artists are usually better at one or the other, practice where you are under-developed. Have fun, make many messes, don't worry about what your parents will think. Love yourself and your life with fierce passion.

We need you!
