Drawing Exercises

What type of pen should I use for thin line drawing? I am a beginner at drawing, mainly drawing cartoon, 'anime-style' drawing. One big difference that I've noticed, however, between my pictures and those of proffesionals, is that the lines the pictures are drawn with are always paper-thin, while mine are thick. What type of equipment, particularly pens, should I use to achieve similarly thin lines in my drawings? Or is there some secret to how they do it?

How do I use a pencil to draw (Cartoon style in particular)? I love looking at animation (Disney, cartoons from pre-Disney, Hana-Barbara, Warner Bros) and have since I was a kid. I'm an old man now and suspect I've gotten a lot of bad habits, but I'd like to be able to draw. I'm not shy of images in my head, but I can't ever seem to get them on paper. In particular, I always seem to have problems getting sharp, clear, smooth and controlled lines on paper when I'm using a pencil. Can anyone offer any advice?

How to get to drawing to the best, details and all? I am getting into drawing a certain manga cartoon style but i have a hard time imagining it and putting it down on paper. I want to draw what I think and see but there is nothing that interests me except small children and things that small children use for example a baby and a bottle.

I know that it takes practice but does anybody have any advice for this field?

How do you express your feelings? When I feel towards something, I draw cartoon/picture depicting the situation and my emotions towards it.

Drawing Anime? ? ? ? ? ? So im still very much a newbie concerning animation/cartooning. I really love to draw, or attempt to draw, and I have a few questions concerning "artistic mediums." I have noticed a lot of the artwork that I thought was hand drawn, was actually done using a tablet on the computer. I was like "man i really suck at this, my line quality looks horrible compared to theirs." And it probably does. But I was at least a little relieved to learn that they had done their drawings on Wacom tablets. Now, that being said, is it best if an animator/artist knows how to do BOTH? Sort of like how the really good 3D modelers can both draw on paper and model things on the computer. Or are these two worlds completally seperate?

How can I get better at drawing and not smear my work? I draw a lot of cartoons and comics, and every time I try to draw one, my hand is always really jittery and causes my art to look bad and uneven. And also when I draw, my paper gets wrinkled and the corners of the paper curl up. I think this is caused by the oils from my hands because I sweat a lot when I draw and why I don't know. I just need to know if there is anything I can do to learn how to hold my hand steadier and how I can complete a drawing I start without having the paper get all wrinkled? What should I do?

How can I avoid copyright laws? Hi, I am wanting to make money off my drawings, but I am only good at drawing cartoons, but I can never draw my own art, I am only good at drawing cartoons that already exist. How can I avoid getting in trouble because of copyright laws? Also, I know this isn't about copyright, but if I was to sell them on craigslis or something, would it sell better it it was on like a canvas, or would it be ok to draw it on like a piece of paper and then put it in a frame?

How can I get better at drawing? I am 18 and I'll be a senior in High School this year and I am thinking of getting into a art class at my new High School I'll be going to. Well what I'm having trouble about this is. I would like to get better at my art and drawing skills. I've been drawing since I was in 1st grade and I've been practicing ever since. I can sketch really good but I'm having trouble with all the shading and I can't think of anything creative. I can be creative and people tell me I'm a really good drawer but what I don't like is when I get something into my head I can draw it on paper but it gets harder after that. I don't know how to draw a full human body and I've been having trouble trying to add some clothes onto the characters, etc. I am wanting to get into Animation for awhile after high school in College and I know animation requires art. And I would like to make anime based animations, etc. In middle school and my freshmen year of high school my art teacher taught us how to draw human shape heads, etc. And I forgot all about that. I really like art and I would like to get better. But the bad problem is. I forgot everything that I got taught back in my art classes. Should I take a art class my senior year of high school to improve my art skills and drawings? And is there any sites that will teach me how to draw human figures, buildings, cartoons, etc? Sorry if no one gets this question. I just want to improve my art. I'm one of those people who have a really good drawing hand and I know how to sketch well. I just cant think of the thing I want to draw and put it on paper. I wanted to make 2D and 3D art. And maybe some fan art from my favorite games, animes, etc. I would also like to know how to draw anime. "I can't draw it on paper"

I know some of the basics such as drawing things further away higher on the paper,smaller, and less detailed.,and I know how to draw object such as spheres,pyramids,cubes, but I can't seem to find motivation to draw a detailed buildings or detailed trees.

Drawing/cartooning tips? I consider myself a fairly good artist. I don't have problems with actually drawing my pictures, I just need tips on how to make a picture look...dramatic, I guess.

I could use tips on "camera angles," mood, perspective, etc. Please post links to good online tutorials, if possible. I'd like more specific answers than that. I find deviantart to be a really frustrating website to search through, because there is so much on there. If there are SPECIFIC tutorials on there that you know of that would help, please post the link.

Can any spanish speakers help me translate this? Are there any spanish speakers out there that can help me translate this?? I'm a little confused, I got a few words but I'm not sure if they make any sense. Hello welcome to the Sammi show! Today I’m going to show you how to animate your own cartoon. -First brainstorm ideas. (It’s acceptable to get frustrated sometimes.) -Once you have decided on an idea for your animated cartoon draw it out on a piece of paper. -After you have made one slide of your animation by drawing your picture take one other piece of paper and trace over your first drawing. Instead of tracing the exact image trace over the picture changing slight movements in objects. -Congratulations! Now your done (laugh) just kidding! Now you must continue adding more pictures to your animation by tracing over your pictures and changing small movements in the picture. -Now you must take pictures of all your pictures and transport them to your computer. -Once you have all of your pictures into your computer upload them all into animation shop 3. -Watch your animation and adjust minor details. -Add music to your animation. -Impress your friends and family. Thanks for joining me on the Sammi Show! Tune in next week to learn how to make a music video. Just kidding, I got kicked off the air. p.s. Please don't aswer if you are just going to copy and paste that into an english to spanish translator, I could have done that, and they don't work, your sentences come up jumbled. Gah I'm not very good with conjugating these verbs.. T_T. Omg louda louda, THANK YOU SOO Much!! I couldn't get half of those words :).

I have a few questions about art portfolios for college? I'm applying to a few art colleges, and I've got a few questions. - How do they feel about sketches? - What if I include a sketch and the finished project? - If I draw something from a photo (Not tracing, just trying to eyeball it), should I include the photo? Or should I include a URL? Or should I just say it was referenced? - I don't have a scanner to scan anything I draw on paper, but I have a tablet I use for most of my drawing. Would art drawn on the computer (with a tablet) be acceptable for non-animated works? I'd say my drawing-on-paper and drawing-with-a-tablet skills are about the same, fyi. I prefer computer anyway, can't smudge anything or run out of space on the page. :) - I'm going to try to major in cartooning and animation. Would it help if I experiment with cartoon styles? (Sometimes I like to doodle in styles from shows/movies, like Happy Feet, Dragon Booster... I don't do it so well that it seems like I trace, I try to mix my main style with the other style. And I don't do it for profit or anything, I just do it for fun or for fan art :).) - Any tips for me? :) Besides show variety, draw from life, quality over quantity, show don't tell... And PLEASE don't tell me to go check the schools' websites, because I've looked, and they don't have answers for these kinds of questions. :(

how to make cartoons??? i wanna make cartoons but wanna kno if drawing them on paper is easier or doing them on computer..could somebody help me with this..

I met the man of my life, but how can i get him to meet up again? Then he replied briefly said, maybe it was my Chinese humour and he was German, and he couldn’t enjoy the fun in that message. He said, he didn’t like the behavior and style. I sent back an email telling him that I felt sorry about my few emails to him. I said I had been trying to distant myself from my feelings about him. I said he had been on my mind often and I for the first time felt it was something quite new to me. (it was true that I have never felt so much about a person like him before). I said I had been behave in a way I myself also felt strange and a bit uneasy too. And I felt my emails might have disturbed him and troubled him which I would never wanted in a way. So I have decided to cool down and get back to my own self and find out what is happening to me and what I really wanted. Then I said I wished him to take good care of himself, not working too hard, taking good of his stomach( I noticed he was quite particular about food but he still missed his meal here and there), and safe driving ( I felt he was a bit careless when he was driving sometimes). And wished him a happy new year ahead. After two days in New year day 2, he replied me with an email as following: Thank you very much for your E-mails and also for your honest replies. I feel a bit guilt, that I was very reserved to you during the last weeks and reacted in case of your sms on Sunday quiet harsh and even unfair. This made me sad, because I find that you are a very kind and charming person, who I enjoyed meeting, but who tries to push me into her life without understanding that I withdraw more and more with each attempt. Sorry, I did not know anymore, how to prevent you from sending me many, extremely long E-mails, which were so well written in perfect English but just telling me “funny" stories about our innocent friendship and praising and making me compliments so many times. Never ever in my life, somebody said so often without any reason “sorry” and “excuse” to me. This let me feel very uneasy and scared me off. After your last E-mail, I feel much better, because now, your behavior and writing is not as contradicting anymore and I don't feel like somebody wants to trapp me in. I didn’t want to reply, I was almost in tears when I read it, I felt we actually both were understanding to each other, both very kind person, but it has been so difficult to get both connected like this, and this was so precious, I was happier than sad, I was sad because I felt pain when I read that he had been sad… I didn’t want him to be unhappy and troubled. I didn’t reply because I felt I could only say, “thank you for your reply and understanding, I understand. “But I didn’t think that would be a proper email, so the following day I replied something like this-- Sorry I was not able to reply your email yesterday as I was getting my punishment --needed to prepare presentation for today's class, and I couldn't get the PDF995 working...anyway, from now on, my passion for writing about daily life, little things, people, and places will be mostly shifted to boring essay, report and paper writings...in order to survive, I am thinking of picking up drawing cartoons... Thank you very much for your email and sharing. I guess I can understand...I have been feeling bad about myself these days. As for the Sunday sms, it was a fun and joking sms, but it was not appropriate to be sent to you, I should have expected the misunderstanding, and to top it off, I commented you were oversensitive...Is there anyway I can take back those words? Too late? I have been thinking about a best way to punish myself, such as eat four meals a day instead of 3 meals, no smile at all for one day...not easy to find one..what could you suggest? He didn’t reply. After few days, I tried to start chat as if nothing happened before. And we had a few times very pleasant chat last week about religion, culture, history and jokes. It was very nice feelings. Saturday evening on the chat he even told me he was checking houses whole day with property agent, he wanted to buy a house. All went quite happily, but evening, I sent him an sms asked if he was free to meet up for a drink. He said he was on his way with friends to a party. The following day I saw the party picture on his friend’s party where he brought a girl as partner to the party. It was almost the same group of friends he brought me to the party before. I felt a bit sad but I was thinking maybe I shouldn’t disturb him any more since he has been seeing new girl.

I have a few questions about the tablets, hopefully someone can answer them? How difficult is it to go from drawing on paper to drawing with the disjointed tablet and screen? Is it worth paying an extra 75 dollars to get the Bamboo Fun vs the Bamboo Craft? Does the large screen make a difference? I want to use the product for amateur animation and maybe dabble in some cartooning or something, is this a suitable product for me? I forgot! I draw with my hand resting on the paper. Will the tablet respond (AKA go nuts) if I do that?

How do I go from simply coping a drawing to creating my own? I took drawing classes for about 2 years and mainly did live human figures. I've stopped taking classes and I can draw someone in front of me pretty well. If I look at a comic or cartoon character I can also copy that pretty well too. However if I just sit there with a pencil and paper I can't just create a character from my head. I have no idea where to start. Any suggestions? I'd like to be an animator and character designer. Thanks Thanks smallramiro but I don't have a scanner right now and can't don't have any of my drawings uploaded. But thanks for your advice. It sounds pretty reasonable. The reason I asked this question is, whenever I ask a pro how to improve my work they always give me the same annoying answer "Just keep on drawing". Great but if I'm doing something wrong then I'll just be doing the same wrong things over and over. Not very helpful.

what if i wanted to do a cartoon ? im really good at drawing.... but if i wanted to make a little show with my cartoons.... do i use a computer, paper ? how would i go about doing that ?

Why is it such a 'forbidden' thing to draw the Prophet Muhammed?? Do you think he would really care? After that whole Danish cartoon strip thing went awry, I begin to wonder, exactly Who said - 'Don't EVER draw the Prophet Muhammed!!' ?? I have not read the Koran, but I'm pretty sure there is no passage that says, 'don't draw me'. True enough, if ANYBODY is drawn in a disrespectful way, the people who have affection for that person will naturally be upset. But, isn't Jesus ALSO considered a prophet by the teachings of Islam??? And isn't he ALWAYS depicted in some fashion, sometimes not very kindly?? Why is there no ranting and raving when THAT happens?? I mean a prophet is a prophet, right?? It would seem to me that this is yet another 'accepted misapplication' of vague and unfounded principles. If the Prophet Muhammed was alive today, I highly doubt he would understand or approve of how people have made him out to be some untouchable man-deity like figure. Ofcourse the actual teachings of Islam teach that Allah is God, but the ACTIONS of the people show that they consider Muhammed to be on an equal plane as God. Sunnis and Shia kill each other over who his 'succesor' should be - But shouldn't God's will to keep peace take precedence, is that not MORE important??? How could a man go from being a Camel caravan manager, to a 'untouchable' holy figure that is so divine that he can't even be depicted on paper??!?? True enough, Jesus also had humble beginnings, but the Bible does not say 'thou shalt not depict thy Lord' either. And any depiction will remain just that, a 'depiction', because no one knows exactly what he looked like anyway, and what is more important is WHAT he did, not HOW he looked when he did it. I see many 'depictions' of Jesus that as a Christian, I don't like. But Jesus knows what he looks like, just as I know what I look like. But taking up arms and killing people over it would be a DIRECT contradiction to EVERYTHING Jesus taught - Peace, Mercy and Love. Does not Islam teach the same?? I can partly understand the 'idolatry' reasoning and argument. Idolatry is also considered a sin in Christianity. But to say that no 'image' of the prophet should be made is still 'extreme'. What about the people who DID see him?? What that reasoning also imply that nobody should SEE him either?? I mean afterall, what would be more conducive to idolatry a 'image' of the person, or the person himself?? Think about it. MANY people saw Jesus, and yet some of his own disciples left him and did not believe. An image MAY cause idolatry, but keep in mind that idolatry is the worship of ANYTHING that is put before God. Blindly following behind man made traditions could also be considered idolatry. What about the Sun, it was created by God and has more power than ANY man, yet it is not idolized by Islam, and we ALL see it, whether we want to or not....so that argument is somewhat reasonable but it still falls short.

I dont understand something. can you plz help me!!!? i live in a foreign country where i mostly understand the language. but my art teacher (who doesnt speak english) tries to teach me how to do that thing when you look at a still life (not drawn) and measure it and then draw it on your paper. its that thing that you see in the cartoons when they use there thumb and squint. my teacher says something like the length is the same as the width or something like that. and that i have to measure- i dont get it!! if it helps: when she tries to explain it to me she usually puts a cloth as a background with a half open pot with fruit next to a little tiny pot with a long handle. i have to do it as a pencil or a charcoal drawing please explain to me how to do it!!!! if you need more details, because i dont know what else to write, write it in your answers(along with your answers) instead of using our thumb, we use a knitting needle.

How can I submit my drawings/cartoons on line or the local paper.? When I was younger I used to love to draw and paint. Friends and relatives would always say that I would go places with my art. Thirty years later I still have not done anything with it. Recently I started drawing again and I'm really enjoying it. My wife and relatives are telling me I should really think about submitting my work but I don't know where to start. Should I go online or try my local newspaper ads? PLEASE, if there is anyone out there that may be in advertising or knows how to get my work public, please advice. Thank you.

Can someone explain to me technical details of classical animation for my edification? I've read the Wiki article(s) and watched Disney's multiplane camera film on YouTube. What I'm hoping is for some insight into the following questions: How do animators draw on paper (before the cells are traced/inked from the paper) and still remain in sync with the background plates? How come we never seem to see variation in the thickness of inked lines on animated characters? I understand that coloring is done on the back of cells so the "plane" of color is always flat, but how do they keep the coloring: 1) from having brushstrokes/variances in shading, and 2) keep the coloring precisely within lines of the characters? (This must just be tortuously painstaking.) How come cells don't have fingerprints all over them? How are animations so evenly lighted when they're shot over an immense amount of time (power surges, brown outs, especially in 40s and 50s animations)? Technical Bonus Question: Why do animated feature length films and short cartoons look so colorful and consistently superb regardless of film stocks used, when live-action films have obvious problems with graininess, color matching, saturation, contrast, etc.?

RUBE GOLDBERG MACHINE (10 EASY POINTS)? Hi, so i have to draw a little cartoon picture of any rube goldberg machine. i was thinking of (maybe, not really) how to switch on a light switch or how to turn off a light switch, but i really wanted to draw a little cartoon picture on how to turn off an alarm clock on a 8 by 11 sheet of paper. So the rules are: -has to have a minimum of 5 steps -has at least one animal involved -has at least one plant involved -at least 3 simple machines (like a pulley, wheel and axle, screw etc...) TO THE PERSON WHO HELPS ME OUT WITH EITHER THE LIGHT SWITCH ONE OR THE ALARM CLOCK ONE(WHICH I REALLY WANT) I WILL GIVE U 10 POINTS THANKS!!!

How do I translate a picture?(Transformation)? I'm learning transformations in class. It's been easy so far but now my teacher wants us to translate a picture. I only know how to translate lines. She told us to pick ten points on the picture and write down the new equation in slope intercept form for each point. Here's what's written in the assignment: For this project, you will be asked to draw out a familiar cartoon character onto a coordinate place, using graph paper that I will provide. You will then pick at least 10 points on your character to make a vertical and horizontal slide with. You should do both shifts together as one, or you may choose to do one shift at a time. You must also dilate the cartoon, you may choose to shrink or expand. You do this by multiplying both numbers by a scale factor. Anything less than 1 creates a shrink, anything more than one creates an expansion. A good graph will still be recognizable after the shifts, have color, and be detailed. Along with your cartoon slide, you must also turn in the TWO sets of the new points (one with a shift, and the other with a shift and dilation) That's all the instructions she give us. Please help. I'm so confused right now. :( My ten points are: 1. (6,-2) 2. (9,-11) 3. (8,5) 4. (6,-3) 5.(5, -2) 6. (5,-8) 7. (6,-8) 8. (9,-4) 9. (6,-7) 10. (4,-3) Could you show me how i would get the equation for the new points? My graph only goes up to 12 and to the left -12. It only goes down -12 and to the right -12. I could be so grateful if you would also show be how to dilate the picture. I want to make it smaller. Thanks. p.s. if you want to find out what what cartoon i'm doing just type in baby bruce into google images. it's from neopets. It's the one with the bow. IT'S SOOOO CUTE! thanks again for taking the time to read and help me with all of this!

How do I modify pictures from my computer to Flash 8? So far I have managed to paste pictures to Flash, but I am having trouble modifying them. I want to create a cartoon version of this pic, by using it just as the background and drawing over it like tracing paper. But whenever I try to draw over it, the picture either moves or what I have just drawn over it disappears. I have tried using it as a symbol but that doesn't help. I am having to use loads of layers to make this work, which only confuses it more. I have kind of given up on drawing with Flash, and tried doing it with Paint and Art Rage, then pasting it as an image to Flash. However even this doesn't work as neither of them are compatible with Flash!! What should I do? This is very frustrating.......

Pen and Ink tips...Comics/Manga...Help? I draw comics and cartoons, and I need to use rulers to make straight lines for my backgrounds and objects, but when I use my dip pens and move the ruler out of the way, the ink on the line swishes across the paper leaving a mess, it only doesnt do this when it dries, but it takes some time to letting the ink dry which makes me become impatient with my backgrounds, I have to stall on every little line just for it to dry, and it becomes irritating after a while, any solutions?...Or is that how its suppose to be using rulers and dip pens? Do I just have to accept the time it will take for my lines to dry?....

Graphic design help with drawing? I would like to create a digital file (whether it's Photoshop, InDesign, or Illustrator) for a t-shirt. I need to draw three cartoon figures (black and white) and add text. I am able to draw them on paper, but don't know if scanning the image is my best bet or if there is some uncomplicated way to draw them digitally. Any advice? I only have Adobe Creative Suite, no special tools or anything. Let me clarify. Yes, I have worked with these programs, but not in the capacity that I have drawn out/sketched images. I have created files using pre-existing elements and manipulated them (like to create a poster using images that already exist, like photos from the web), but have never used the pen tool to actually draw out a figure (say, for example, to draw out a cartoon cat). I don't know how hard it is and which tools to use to create a figure from scratch.

what is wrong with me? art? hi, i like visual arts and everything else related to it. so anw, i'm 15. but i dunno, my 'taste' sort of keep changing over the years. For instance, when i was very young, i only drew stuff i saw, like from books and stuff. so i draw those cartoon characters, which i think is extremely childish now. later, i started crazeover anime and drawing manga. i still is, now. so erm, at first, it was plain drawing on paper. over a few months, i wasn't satisfied, so i started doing stuff on softwares. so i drew lineart and whatever, and then edit everything in comicworks ,photoshop etc. then now, i want to buy copic sketch to draw. now, i am doing graffiti. and then previously, i was crazy over sewing. i was like making skirts, blouses, totes, purses etc. then i suddenly quit, and i started polymer clay and making jewellery. what the HELL!? is it like i'm too fickle minded or something?! please tell me. another thing. i keep getting sick of what i did. like i could draw something, and then i wake up the next morning, i just feel disgusted by what i drew, so i tend to destroy it. i deleted my whole deviantart account because i was sick of everything i did, cuz i think they're ugly. i threw away my entire sketchbook after years of drawing. i keep deleting and deleting whatever stuff i did. i keep feeling ugly. what the hell!?!? oh and erm, well, i try to keep the stuff i do in some place, but i still cant stand it so i want to throw everything away and start all over again. and it's basically the same for like everything i did. and yeah, i did sculptures before as well. ceramics and pottery. after a while, i just hate whatever stuff i did.
