You can draw Dragons very neat! ^_^ Would be cool if you shaded or soloured them in! keep up the good work

Well, as I said. Get addicted. Your first step is to think it's fun to draw something.

Your second step is to start learning. I'd step away from anime, manga and general tutorial-based knowledge and move on to "real" art practice. As mentioned, perspective, anatomy, colour theory, light.

If you feel you've come past the first step I'd suggest drawing from life. Find random objects and draw them. Don't matter what it is, just try to draw them.


Not right on topic, but if you really want to draw dragons. Try picking some reference pictures. Base your dragons on reptiles and/or birds. Try realizing the structure, how the animals are built. And try to build a structure when making your drawings.

Yaya. gl

[link] - Great website with all kinds of manga tutorials, as well as some fairly easy and straightforward photoshop stuff, this should help a lot.

[link] - There might be some good stuff on here as well.

These tutorials are really good to practice with, and do them over and over again until you memorise everything. The Polykarbon ones helped me incredible when I was still interested in drawing manga. Remember this: drawing is a discipline that needs daily practice. I stopped drawing for a month at one point and couldn't draw anything after that, so I just gave up and decided on photography instead.

Good luck again, and thanks for the comment!

The anime style suits many asian games well, since it's clean and makes the concepts easy to read. But trying to imitate it without knowing the basics in art will do more damage than it willl help. Every single (professional) artist that you see who does animeish art knows the basics of art.

I'd suggest the site already linked. Read around in the forums, posting what's in your gallery atm will probably only attract trolls (no offence).

Don't worry that much about your age. CA is run by Jason Manley, who owns Massive Black, which is one of the largest companies for video/comic/movie-artists. He started out his serious art-career after he was 20. But you should be prepared to draw constantly, he did. Everyone wants to be a game-artists.

Start drawing and painting now.

Ah yes, I read your post as well. I personally think that you don't have much of a chance as an artist. I'm very sorry, I don't mean to offend, but there are many people your age that are simply amazing artists, and you would need to practice for hours each day to get good.

Anyway, whatever you decide to do, good luck and hope everything goes well.

And I agree with the previous comment. Drop the anime style.
