I struggle with that too, when I drew the farmers house in the vinnie cartoon took me forever to get straight lines and in the end some of the lines I just settled with

I dunno, using flash for tablet drawing I would assume would be a lot better, but I can't get flash to work on this computer unfortunately

Yeah :L Would be nice to be able to draw with a pencil and paper and have it appear on the screen just as it does on the papers since scanners aren't always as useful :P

That reminds me... I haven't installed my tablet on my new computer yet. EEEK.

I'm going to recommend something to you-- because I can tell you from experience that just relying on calculating size and position from just the outlines of an anatomical drawing is VERY hard to do accurately.

To get a really strong anatomy down from memory, obviously, it just takes a ton of practice. But I'd start with the abstract- pose sketching is great, and it seems to be easiest to make look believably in proper pose.

(this isn't mine, using as an example though)  http://animation.redforty.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/exhaustedsketch_002.jpg

See how they're not really focusing on the look of it, but more so everything else BUT the proper human look? It's all about the pose, because if you can't get a natural looking pose down then the drawing can fail from being too weak D:

So yeah, what I think you should do for a neat little excersize is to break down the human body more. Forget about skin, imagine you're drawing a wireframe of a person.

After practicing that for awhile, hopefully what happened to me will happen to you-- you'll begin to understand where things go, how to get the skin to look perfectly proportional and natural.

/rant :3

It's a good start, but play more :'D


*Keep at it, takes awhile for you to get used to a tablet but once you do it's grate :B

Bahah yeah I figured I should make it less significant because I forgot to read that you were just getting used to your tablet ;l

Regardless, glad you noticed it >:]  [jive]
