Teach Yourself to draw, by Deleted on May 6, 2008 16:43:09 GMT 1, Hey, would doing repeated still life drawing be a good way to improve my basic level of drawing, Or would you suggest other way's of learning? Cant afford to leave work to learn or take time off so gonna go back to basics on me own!

Dont think theirs any real benifit in terms of learning between life drawing and still-life drawing.

Teach Yourself to draw, by skelly on May 6, 2008 16:46:34 GMT 1, Probably the best thread I've seen posted here in my short life with the forum. Repeated still life drawing will improve your technical skills....like drawing spheres focus on the shadows created by the objects. Try to just explore as many different mediums as you can, see what you prefer..then start trying to draw from your head

Teach Yourself to draw, by daley on May 6, 2008 19:44:08 GMT 1, Drawing the human form is probably one of the hardest things to master. Life (nude) drawing classes are the best form of practice. You can practice drawing your feet at home though - they are hard to get right and don't require having a model. Also, drawing yourself naked in a big mirror is quite a challenge but will improve your skills.
If you can find a life class with a good tutor you are made. 
Good luck.

Teach Yourself to draw, by wildbill on May 7, 2008 6:03:25 GMT 1, good advice!^^
figure drawing classes are great. Usually pretty cheap too....you'll be able to teach yourself a great deal through trial and error, but constructive criticism is really helpful and easy to get at these classes.
If your gonna take the time to learn, I'd strongly suggest checking this book out:
"The New Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain", by Betty Edwards.
good luck

Teach Yourself to draw, by spencerlee on May 7, 2008 9:40:18 GMT 1, Yeah, my GF has been on a few art classes, and she comes back and draws me when I am sat at the computer. I am a better subject than the cat which doesn't like it when you look at her too much and walks away.....
