Better than nothing.

what was that thing with the person giving a tutorial on drawing a face and it went "draw a circle, and then draw the rest of the face" or whatever

Work in progress
Okay so, this isn't quite what the thread was made for, but does anyone have tips for drawing people? My medium is pens and markers 90% of the time. For about a week or two I've been drawing people at school, some turn out good, some turn out bad. Any help?

That is exactly what this thread is for!
Most people would suggest finding some Loomis books
also Figure Drawing: Design and Invention by Michael Hampton is good.
Girlfriend and I drew this in Sketchbook earlier.

I drew a bat for my friend. It cheered both of us up.
I forgot it's fun to draw, should definitely do it more.

Thank you! I found a download for a couple books on general drawing and people (not illegal, their public domain c;). I will begin reading them as soon as they finish downloading.

I think detailing things like the humans doesn't work well in concept art pieces. They and the poles might look better with less detail and bigger strokes. I think
For someone just starting out, like no prior experience whatsoever, would it be better to practice the basics with the traditional pencil and sketchbook, or a digital medium? Or both?

I have to disagree; without people you'd have little reference for scale and whatnot
Which poles do you mean?

I liked it better flipped, where you could easily "read" it from left to right, now my eyes jump around at first.
Still fantastic though, I really love this one

I disagree with this actually, I like how when I look at it my eyes go straight down from the empty space and seem to just hit the side of the building.
the poles vs people are confusing the scale for me, with the poles on the right looking like telephone-pole sized things but the poles on the left look barely taller than the people
great piece though, although i preferred the left-to-right version because it lead my eyes to the ascent in the background much better
If one were to set out to do daily sketches, how does one pick things to draw so as not to get bored of it very quickly.
I find it hard to get interesting things around my house to draw. 90% of our possessions are books.
I am going to start sketching a daily stilllife of some sort (maybe people occasionally but my mom doesn't like me drawing her cause I make her look "too old" by which she means realistic :v:)

Pencil and paper, no contest.
You can easily see the cause and effect of your drawing. It's simple to lay down sketches and erase and you are physically drawing onto the surface. Unless you're using a tablet with a built-in screen, there will be a disconnect with using digital. Even if you are, it's still a little bit "off".

Pencil and paper yh

No I just mean detailing them with a small brush.

I've always loved your stuff, nox. You like your colonial history, huh?
Owned a Wacom tablet since 2006 and I've only done very minor work with it. However yesterday was one of my creative moments! I think I'll go into more anatomy studies today.

[QUOTE=MakoSkyDub;39203747]Oh I see
Is that uh
a widespread... Art form?[/QUOTE]
it's pretty popular, you can get videos like this which you play full screen on your phone/tablet w/e and drag it along in the dark to make the object
