Entry 6: Can someone teach me the art of the art?

There is something that has been of interest to be for a couple of months now. That is drawing. I would actually like to learn to draw. At least, better then I do now.

 

Right now, I can draw...ok. I don't think it's crap compared to what you could see, but it's just meh.

 

There are also these techniques I've heard about, like shading.

 

So anyone can help me, can you please? Maybe a good tutorial? As long as it's not an art class like in school.

 

Please and thank you.

I can try to help you if you want, but you have to really want to improve. If it's only a side thing for you then it's going to take a lot longer.

 

You are only 15, I'd still recommend that you take one of your schools art classes.

Hmm...Well, there are two things I'm worried about.

 

The major thing is that I want to design video games. i'm more into the programming aspect so I'm trying to use my classes for that the most while fitting in Requried courses.

 

The second thing is, I'm worried I need past experience.

 

For example those drawing guides on Equestria Daily has. I feel like they expect to know how to shade or do that thing that looks you just draw in the same place over and over.

 

I don't want to go to an art class in high school and find out I'm screwed. When do the basics even beginning?

If you want to be a video game designer (which isn't really a real position in most game companies) than having only technical training and no actual design training isn't going to really help you.

If you seriously want to learn how to draw then you would take an art class. Mine as well do it while it's free.

 

I am working on getting my Masters in Computer Science while also getting a Minor in Fine Art. Just because you have one doesn't mean you cant have the other.

art is just something your mind converts on to paper. using graphite and an eraser is just how you start out with. just let yourself be free! just dont be emo people dont like that kind of " art"
