Description I had a few requests for a drawing tutorial for Lackadaisy so I figured, hey! Let's draw some stupid, whynot?
Originally, it had a painting tutorial included, but it was getting to be too long, so I truncated it. That part might make it onto lackadaisycats.com when I hoist up there, though.

Your tutorial is awesome. You cover fundemental form in it, which a lot of new artists haven't even heard or thought about doing - it's a good practice, even before you start drawing anything in particular. I did wonder why we covered it in art school....our tutor never did explain, but I think that was because she didn't know why we were doing it either.... not a good start....

But this was a very lovely tutorial, and you have a very funny sense of humour!!! Nice and sarcastic, like me Lol.

Well done you

If only I had enough patience to actually draw in such a lovely and structured manner... I've never had any actual art classes past eighth grade stuff, so needless to say, I've just been winging it for a while. So many steps though! Alas, maybe I should just stick to writing and unrefined drawings as pastimes! D':

ahuang93 [2007-02-26 21:36:33 +0000 UTC]

Haha. I like this tutorial. Oh, just one thing, was that all done with pencil, or was there computer stuff involved with finalizing. I know how to draw on paper and stuff, but I have no idea whatsoever how people manage to make art with a mouse. People keep telling me to use Photoshop but I have no idea how to. Anyways, wonderful tutorial.

The pasta will be disciplined. Probably with the aforementioned "bunnies and stuff," bar the bunnies. Sheer brilliance, as usual.

Tutorials tutorials. Wonderfully annoying little buggers, are they not?
It would be amazingly useful....
If I only had the paitence for so many steps. >_<

Anyhow, thanks for considering the artist starved of any useful training. ^_^

I found you randomly through another deviant's favorites list, and I have to say that, hands-down, this is the best tutorial I've seen on DA thus-far. You break everything down neatly, but you put it into terms and steps that people can understand ...

... and the shapes! Oh, the shapes. So THAT's why everyone I draw tends to look like they could fall over if you poked them, after a while. e_e Duh, Ang.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share - and I absolutely adore your sense of humor. I'm definately going to have to set aside some time to read Lackadaisy now, it looks like it's got almost everything I like - humor, whimsy, the prohibition era, and pinstripes. Hey - it's even got the sandwich thing going for it so far. Win-win.

As with most tutorials, it tells us nothing new, but the clever manner in which you narrate entertains enourmously.

VioletVampireVixen [2007-01-13 21:39:48 +0000 UTC]

Wow. So that's why they teach that for 3/4 of the semester.

I never thought of starting out with the 3-D shapes. I usually did the whole stick figure thing. That didn't work out very well though '|D.
An interesting and a very useful tutorial .

Gotta love those pinstripes. -nods and swipes sandwich-
