Re: Tutorial for a total newb
I think Zero posted one once. Drawing is just one of those things, everybody does it a different way. Some people do the whole circles and lines grid sketch thing for human figures, some people go more a more free form approach, some people use other pictures for reference like human models and such.
Try a few different approaches and see what works best for you. Drawing is a learned skill in a way. Natural imagination and talent will help you, but the only real way to get better is to practice and try new things. The more you draw, the more types of things you draw, the better you get. Also, don't worry about color at first, coloring is it's own beast. I'll admit I'm not very good at it that's why I tend to just stick to black and white. I've "ruined" many of my older pictures by trying to color them. Computers help here though because you could always upload something and color it a thousand different ways without messing with the original.
I have no skills with computer art yet though. But there are loads of tutorials and products out there so I think I'm just intimidated by the array of options. But I suppose practice makes perfect still applies here as well. A bit trite as far as advice goes, but it's true.
