Good advice is hard to come by. I was thinking, maybe we could start a thread that's a collection of good first hand experiences and advice that everyone could share and learn from. The best drawing advice I ever got was: Quote: "Draw for 10 minutes a day, every day" ~Rick Cortes(a close friend of mine) it's actually a nice piece of advice because most people say "practice, practice, practice". --all of us know we should practice. But "practice" is such and elusive way to say it. What does "practice" involve? Rick basically defined practice by setting an easily met goal and a schedule. The Goal: Draw for 10 minutes. That's easy to do. The Schedule: Once A Day. That's easy if it's only 10 minutes. The Result: if I'm having a bad day, I draw for 10 minutes, and then do something else. If I'm having a good day, that 10 minutes will turn into 20minutes, or an hour of fun productive drawing. I actually tried to draw for 1 hour a day and it backfired horribly. It quickly feels like work, especially on days that you're just not in the mood to draw. I ended up Not drawing for weeks on end because I didn't want to sit down and commit to a whole hour of drawing. 10min/day. Wise Words.
ide have to agree with crack killz on this one, i just learned on my own...i draw like 10 HOURS a day, haha...well maybe not but alot, i love it...
heres some advice.. the time you spend on the internet jacking off to porno, and posting asshat topics, instead could be spent on working on your tag, straight letters, and piece book.
heres an idea, go sketch instead of making garbage threads that clutter up BS [Broken External Image]:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/Havoc411/cleanupbs.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/Havoc411/cleanupbs.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/Havoc411/cleanupbs.jpg [Broken External Image]:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v311/Havoc411/cleanupbs.jpg
The best advice I ever got was to stop writing. I didn't listen, but it could have saved me alot of effort.
best advice was from myself a few years back"you're a fucking toy. Go do somthing better" just say that to yourself a few times and everything will work out.
ask anyone who actually writes and they will tell you this ... start simple and dont bust right into wildstyle trace timesnewroman for all i car but in the end you will understand
shut the fuck up nigga just remember u were a toy once and u would not have liked to be abused. fuck me this is a forum not a beef war. the more painters the better. so help him and give him advice.. to make him better...
and another idiotic reply by some post whore who got offended by some advice, who thought it was directed toward him because it actually applied to his toy self.
