I know this sounds trite, but these axioms are no less true:
- Draw/sketch a lot. Do it as much as you feel driven to.
- Practice drawing from life. Although the style you ultimately arrive upon may be something other than realism (like my comics), this is invaluable.
- Take some classes and/or get together with other artists - you can learn a huge amount by working with others.
- Years later, you'll look at your new work compared to your old work and say "holy crap, it worked!"
Of course, then you have people who somehow draw magnificently when they're young, simply by instinct/talent. I envy those folks!

I would draw a lot, but my drawings are, well...suckish. I can draw cute little frogs and monkeys, but that's about it. Most of my friends are writers, and that's mostly what I do.

Thank you! I am not much of a colorist, but every so often someone on DA colors one of my ink pieces. Although they'd have to be slightly crazy to do this one!

Awesome work! But I'm having trouble loading the full-size, Is this a DA issue?

I was having trouble with it full size also for a bit (I bumped it from 800px to 900px) but it seems to be ok now..
Thanks!

Wow!!! This is an epic piece!!!
Now, if I had tried such a huge undertaking, (well, I NEVER would have done half this good) but wouldn't it be Murphy's Law that I get to the very end, the last figure, and I SPILL something on it?!
This piece really is AMAZING - can't see what you get to do next to top it! :GRIN:

dalgoda7 In reply to TerrierQueen [2009-12-17 20:06:45 +0000 UTC]
part of the thrill with drawing with ink & a brush is the fear that I will louse it up somehow with one false move... every time I finish up on a piece is a big relief in that sense!
Thank you!

TerrierQueen In reply to dalgoda7 [2009-12-18 02:05:43 +0000 UTC]
Yes, I suppose your right!
But I'm afraid I'm NEVER going to get to that point where I *don't* make that false move, lol!!!
But you are quite welcome, and I hope to see much more of your work - amazing!!!

My normal rate for something this size (a full comic page, 11x17 or 14x17) is $80, although this one pushed that envelope a bit... took me 3 times as long as a regular piece!
