Science can't explain it!
@Nezchan One great piece if advice I got was to get a ream of legal size paper and a bed table. I can tilt it up and draw well into the night, right until I fall asleep
@cypnk Yeah, I run into kids that are like "I wanna learn to draw, but I can't afford a tablet yet." Like seriously, if you're just starting to learn you don't *need* a tablet.
Get yourself a big pad of newsprint and a soft pencil and start learning 3D shapes. Doodle on anything. Learn to effectively make marks before you invest in an expensive piece of equipment that will just end up in the back of a closet if you don't stick with it. Buy that crap when you know you're hooked on drawing.
@cypnk Go find a PDF of Loomis' Fun With a Pencil and Figure Drawing For All Its Worth and maybe Bridgeman's Constructive Anatomy and just nail that shit. I don't care if you want to do "manga style", you're too early in the process to *have* a style. That's window dressing, so don't waste time on that when you haven't poured the foundation yet.
If you learn the basics and nail them good, then you'll be *better* when you try to adopt a style.
