How does one learn to draw?(Computer/paper)?

Most recently I've been wanting to get into drawing but I'm really not willing to pay for lessons since for the most part it'll just be a hobby and at the same time self learning is kind of hard. So from your experiences, how did you learn to draw? Let it be drawing on a computer with something like photoshop/gimp/paint.net etc or simply paper and pencil.

I believe to be able to draw it takes a lot of time and dedication. The main thing is that you can not over criticize yourself. I have trouble with that and I keep quitting and restarting. The only thing I can recommend is start drawing your basic things around when you're bored or if you want to, and try to get into the "zone" where you only focus on drawing. I hope this can help at least some.

I believe if you replaced the word "belief" with the synonymous word "hypothesis" you wouldn't have a problem. Unless you're completely unthinking, it's impossible to not already have a preconceived ideas about what you're going to learn. There's nothing wrong with already having beliefs, you can't not have them... Anyhow as the result of learning you learn if you were either right, wrong, or somewhat both in your beliefs. Let's take something simple as an example. The Earth moves around the Sun. My Preconceived Hypothesis: From experience I can watch the sun move across the sky. The Earth feels like it's pretty still. So one can only conclude that the Sun is the one who's actually moving. ^The above is however incorrect. The argument against the above is that when you do the math it's a lot simpler for the Earth and planets to be circling the Sun and not everything circling the Earth. Also we can study Venus and note how the dark side of Venus changes (see as Venus goes around the sun different parts of it are lit up showing that it's moving around the Sun). And why it feels like the Earth is not moving is explained because we are in fact "moving with" the Earth. ===== As a side note I disagree with the person who said "beliefs tend to get in the way". That's not true, in fact, most scientific facts are actually "beliefs" before they're proven. You have a belief, you go out and prove that belief. Copernicus believed the Heliocentric model, he went out and proved it.

I think you will find it handiest to sign out a book at your local library on the basics of drawing - it will probably have several and you can look them over and pick the one that seems to speak to you about subjects and style. With a book you can put it beside the paper or screen and compare instead of bouncing back and forth to web sites and software.
