This is one of the guys Justin Sweet swears by, and alot of other pros do as well. If your in Cali try to get to a class he teaches.now these arent exactly books for drawing but they may help you draw.Art & Fear by David Bayles & Ted Orland. sets you up for doing great stuff and just doing it. If your ever in a slump or feel unmotivated, start reading this book!The other is WAY more self helpish, but if your in a slump or lack confidence in your art or anything else than this book will help.Dreams into Action by Milton Katselas, I laugh every time I read that cause its so corny but its really good at motivating you. My sister took acting lessons at his acting school in LA.Other advice? Personally I'd page thru LtDtMWAY at a book store and then go find some artists you like and just try and redraw their stuff.Learning from Masters, that part of any BFA or MFA program.If your wanting to produce comic style art, then just grab some comics by an artist you like and redraw some panels you like. Thats the best way to keep your interest up. Always enjoy what your doing.Draw from obseravtion. if that means a still life with bananas or spawn action figures or your cat. do it. Try to make it engaging and fun.all the books mentioned earlier can be helpful it depends on your style and personality. Check some out at your library and if you like them go out and buy them.Drawing from the right side of your brain book can be a lot of fun.heres a guy that rules, check out his how to section. so sweet.<a href="http://www.artbyfeng.com/" target="_blank">http://www.artbyfeng.com/</a>good luck,I expect you to post some sketches soon!Oh, that reminds me the best art teacher I ever had is named Susan Pelz, shes a good artist but a shrewd business woman. She broke it down like this. Lets say your doing your art what ever it may be and only say 10-25% of it is any good. Even after you practice and are comfortable with waht your producing. YOu only manage to sell 25% of your pieces. Then theres only one thing you can do. Produce four times as much.So simple and so true. No matter how many books or videos you buy or read or watch, if you dont practice and dont produce it wont matter. It will all be for naught!So pick up a pen, pencil or sharpened cat and start doing what you can do, and dont stop doing it til somebody makes you.word up</blockquote>
