Sup' folks,

i got a couple of drawing tips from my uncle again(he's a art teacher)
i think this may prove to be usefull

Tip #1:

When something doesn't look quite like you want it to, don't get angry.
just try again, it doesn't need to look good the first time necessarily.
just keep your first drawing as a example and try to improve a couple of things.

Tip #2:

When you have a artistblock, try to find some distraction.
Things recommended by uncle Vin:

- Go watch a movie, nothing can be more inspiring then a good movie.
- Write down what ever comes up in your mind, it'll loosen up your mind and you can get some good ideas doing it.
- Go outside and snap some pictures using a photocamera, don't use cellphone cameras tough the quality isn't as good as a actual photocamera.

Tip #3:

Try to mimic other peoples art styles, it's a good practice to perfect you own style and if you ever want to make fanart of one of his/her characters it can be quite usefull.

Tip #4:

Drawing foreshortening is really difficult, it's a well known fact.
The best way to practice it is to take a pencil and holding it in front of you, in such an angle that it looks shorter.

Well, that’s all I can remember from what he said, maybe, just maybe I’ll edit it and add some more tips.

What kind of art does your uncle do?

All sorts of stuff i guess...
i actually really don't know, but his brother is a manga artist.

hehe good 'ol uncle vinny. kinda like "my cousin vinny". now THERES a good movie to get inspired from!!

Thanks, buddy. Now I feel I'm going to get to copy as what #3 says. Maybe I'll go back to #2. Thanks for the share, dude. Your uncle's the MAN. ;D I have a brother who loves art, but in probably western comics, mostly Marvel style. But me, I'm Manga, man.

Truth be told...I never thought of #4.....I will use this. Thanks war, this is great. ^_^

Hey, no sweat
