Hey!
I just wanna say that 1: You have an amazing gallery, and 2: You're now my hero!

I stumbled over your fundamentals tutorial, and figured "why not, I have no idea how to really draw anyway". So I read through it and did what you said; drew a LOT of shapes, twisted them around and stuff. When I was finished with the 16 pages, I had the shapes in my head and I saw them everywhere, so I continued drawing. Then I endedd up with a tree with basic shapes as leaves, and figured I could try some shading while I was at it. Actually, I was pretty stunned by my end result ... I mean, hell, I managed to shade it pretty good, and I've never really got the hang of it until now, cause I never knew how to do it ... so THANK YOU for that tutorial, and I'll be waiting for you to tell us how to finish up that tree.

I haven’t completely abandoned this place. Nice work. How is Cogswell? It’s Cogswell right? How is life going in general? Do you talk to any of the ol' chew anymore?

Well, i must say i was wandering around DA looking for tutorials of any kind, and i found yours. I'm not good to criticize things, but i think your tutorials are really good, i pressume there are more to come so ill devwatch you, if you dont mind, besides i have seen your sketches, and i think they are really good too, well anyway good luck and thanks for everything.

P.D. May i ask what carreer are you studying/what carreer did you studied?, im just curious, because you seem to know a lot about art, of course if you dont want to answer is fine ^_^, well thx again and good luck.

sorry for not answering for so long. I've been quite busy. Animation is my major focus. I WILL be making more tutorials, but I've been very occupied with work, so I must delay them a bit longer. Thanks for your interest.

Great work with this basic drawing tutorials, they are great written. I'm waiting for the new ones comming. I thought that i can't draw but somehow I can do it with cones and cubes

For some reason I think that learning how to draw could improve me in photography. Thx a lot and keep it up.

Thank you for your kind comment. I'm very happy to see that these tutorials are being appreciated (and more importantly, read!). It is such a shame that this base of knowledge isn't much more widely taught, especially in schools. Anyway, stay tuned!

I love those kitties! Much many more lines than I'd ever get myself to commit to drawing, buuut that's probably another reason I like it.
