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

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.

Find thingys you wants to draw and then go on youtube.com and follow dem instructions.

People who draw tend to be "visual". The sense of sight and the act of seeing is important to them. It's a short trip from seeing to imagining and then to feeling that you want to recreate what you see and what you imagine so others can see what you see and what you imagine. Drawing is one way that people express themselves and communicate with those around them.

I didn't learn to draw. I just remember wanting to draw so I did. I started in elementary school. I love the quietness of drawing and of seeing what I see in the real world or imagine in my mind on paper (or, now, on my computer screen). Later, I took inexpensive classes at local arts communities and at the local public garden (I'm good at botanical drawing - but, of course, I want to draw people:-).

Drawing is nothing more than hand-eye training. It's learning the tricks of light, shadow and perspective so you can turn a 3D world into a 2D representation. The more you draw, the more you'll start to see the world as lines, curves, shading, shadows, positive space and negative space.

You can't want to draw like someone else because drawing is a personal thing. You're going to draw like no one else draws. Yes, it will be frustrating at times. Your work will never be finished but you'll learn when to stop (before you over-work it and mess it up). It's always hard to be really satisfied with your own work but this is a good thing because it means you'll keep trying - and keep drawing.

Yep, self-learning is hard but, if you like to draw, if there's something about the feel of the pencil in your hand and seeing the graphite line appearing on the paper, you'll draw. If you want to improve how you draw, you'll put up with the frustration of the practice pieces you'll have to do. Start with paper and pencil. It's more tactile (touchy-feely) and you'll feel more in control. You use the same rules to draw with a digital tablet so it's easy to shift from paper-pencil to computer. The hard part is getting used to using a tablet which takes a week or two and, more importantly, the distance between your mind, hand and the art you create increases when using a computer. Paper-pencil drawing is more physical and more immediate - and more personal and intimate. There's a direct line from your eyes to your hand to the paper. With a computer, the hardware and the software can't help but butt into the process:-) The funny thing is that a lot of us, whether we're 14 and drawing anime or old biddies like me drawing flowers and landscapes, stick with paper and pencil to do our drawings and then, if we want to ink them or paint them, scan them or take a photo of them to get them into our computers. (And paper and pencil are really mobile. You can take them just about anywhere and sketch away!)

There are a lot of online sources. It's a hassle but you should spend some time looking through as many of them as possible and pick out the sites that "fit" you best. Here are a few I have bookmarked in case someone like you asks:-)
