My time spent here on DA I have had a lot of questions regarding how I draw clothes to getting proportions down right. Well, we all have to start somewhere and this is it!

Note: IF you want to get better, as you know, practicing is everything. ESPECIALLY practicing when you don't feel like drawing.

Just ask my former apprentice! She did this for three months straight and even though it was hard work, it greatly paid off! I am VERY proud of her!!!
I challenge you to do this for one week. I want you to do ten pages of nothing BUT drills. And you AT LEAST have to have 5 drills on each page (and thats the front AND the back of the page, so at least 10 total "per page").

Side Note ~ I had to personally do this for three years straight at my art college and it was 30 pages a week! (so no whinning )

Go out to a public place (like a mall or something) and draw people as they pass on by. Draw your family, your friends, wherever there are people! And see how long it takes you to draw them. Ideally you want to practice enough where you can start to draw people in 60 seconds or less in drill form. Now there is a reason to all this hard work. Drawing isn't JUST about having the head knowledge. ANYONE can be told how to draw. It's about getting the "muscle knowledge"...it's the same reason a basketball player practices the same shot a thousand times over. He's training his muscles to remember the precise amount of strength they need to use to make that shot at that certain place. We too need to train like this to get good! If you have any questions feel free to ask my friends!

GOOD LUCK!!!
