Description
Tutorial? Me?You've gotta be kidding! I'd totally suck! Case in point, see the above.
Honestly, the notion of me teaching anyone anything about how to draw makes me very self-conscious and...well...embarrasses me. I'm simply not qualified and any professional artist out there reading the 'advice' I'd give would say, "that guy's an idiot!" All I can give anyone is my small opinion which isn't even worth much to ME.
The best I can tell anyone is what many of you already know: study and practice. The rest is just icing on the cake. Determining one's own style comes about naturally. Everyone's already got a style. The only way to bring it about is to practice drawing, painting, basket-weaving, calligraphying...whatevering. You'll come through because you're you. Be assured of that fact.
The above is a rough (obviously) sketch done by special request. I decided to add in my little 'g0b1inisms' as a bit of fun. Please don't take them all too seriously. They're just some of the things that go through my mind when sketching.

Tutorial or not, its very useful and cool to get one of these. If anything, shows how much you think and analyse your own work to improve.

I don't think I'd have the patience to do a thorough tutorial. Something like this where I scribble notes would be the most I'd do.

man, u don't need to make tutorials. Personally, just by watching your sketches I do learn lots of things (especially anatomy)
just keep up the same way

I've never really learned much from tutorials either. Just by studying the finished works of my favorite artists.
I think if I do anything...it'll be something like this where I just scribble notes.

Hey, I do live in Vegas!
No matter how grand the composition may be, I've always believed the face is half the picture!

lmao perfect then--to Vegas! lol
Right? I mean the body can look really amazing but if you don't like the face then it's kinda like "eh" Cuz the focus is the face eventually. Bad faces make good bodies look different than they would with a good face.

I found it amusing and interesting, I request more when time and energy allows.

This was a rare occasion when I had both the time and energy to honor a request.
But, considering what I've been pushing myself to produce for the PUMMEL league recently, a sketch like this has never seemed easier.

very nice!
and man, don`t take your skills lightly i would love to see a tutorial from a person as talented as you are!
maybe some time when you think you won`t be embarresed by it i hope you show me one^^
anyway your tips are great and give me hope^^
again, great work, and i can`t wait for the next one^^

Hmm...if I do actually come up with a tutorial, I think it'll be something like this. One where I scribble something down with notes.
Trouble is my process isn't really ordered. There are no set steps I follow. So, I feel like a bumbling fool when trying to put something ordered together as a tool.
You're always so encouraging. Thank you, Dominic!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok i can understand that! I`m not really following special steps either... maybe THAT`S my problem^^
anyway if the time comes, I need to see it^^
encouraging... yes maybe i really am. but it follows my desires, too. it makes most talented guys like you drawing pictures that can be seen by me. MUHAHAHAHAHA what a plan...

I Found this a better tutorial than many. Short, simple, right to the point, and something I can remember.
I especially love the part about making shit up. I do that all the time. It is relieving to know that artists with talent do this as well
Nice job!

It's the best advice I could give, really. Don't know what looks good till you throw it down on the paper
Thanks!

Hey Gob, I think this stuff is very helpful. Especially since I feel like you have a very natural talent for Dynamic figures and composition.

Thanks!
I'd like to add that I'm happy to share what tips I can. I posted this in response to the many requests I get to actually "teach" people to draw. In my view, it doesn't work that way. If you really love it, you'll pursue it and find your way. People like you, I know have got a good thing going on, already. It's why I watch you.
Artists sharing little tips and tricks...I'm all for it!

Same here Gob. I would love to see you crack an egg of knowledge on us about your lighting techniques. I feel like you really have that down, and it is a particular area I struggle with.
glad to see you are uploading images again.

Best advice EVER.

lol love the one about making shit up till it looks good. All these are really good and handy tips man.

It's my true methodology. Never know what looks good till you put it on paper. It's what would make me such a bad teacher.
Glad you like 'em!
