I think some of the best advice i got was watch your surroundings and the place you're gonna hit if it's pretty busy, be totally aware of what's around you. This has saved my butt many a time.
my friend told me he does this sometimes .. works good too ... basicaly he said to resketch you sketches after you do them ... sounds kinda wack but when you do it u usally change some stuff and come out with a better version of the same peice
ye, i find its good too draw with coloured pencils draw a first outline in one colour then do over it again but change the things you dont like in a different colour keep doing that until you have a sketch thats good then go over your favourite lines in a marker n copy it clean onto another piece of papar like a final draft
I was working through my B book & art teacher looked through. He edited and tought me how to draw 3d writin, Safe teacha eh? lol eva since grafiin hehe
haha....ten minutes? i dont think i ever drawn for just ten minutes evryday in my entire life! give it a good half hour to produce something you can use/snatch ideas off of for your next session... and if you really concentrate, youll allow your work consume to every bit of free time you thought you had!!! thats how i came up with this: http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/43712277/

leftside, that was some fucking knowledge. thats what ive been trying to do as well. i thought that i could start adding extensions, but when i went back to do simpler stuff, sometimes my shit was wack. so now i work hard on more simple things to get the basics of what constitutes a good letter and flow. i really wanna check that design book you were talking about. and i do the same for making beats. im constantly learning new techniques, tricks, different ways to flip a sample, and now im trying to learn more about instruments and how to tie them together to make music that has emotion and tells a story rather than just a beat that is based mostly on rhythm and sounds. youre completely right about building the fundamentals, but i think it helps to go a little out of your reach, learn from your mistakes, and take what you learned back to the fundamentals and rebuild the structure bigger and better than before.
completely agree man i think we all start of trying to do shit we think looks hype with all these connetions and intertwining letters or what have you but we soon realize that we need to start slow...... i think everyone wants to jump into doing pieces but you need t gradually work your way there
dont worry about the people that think they are "king shit" because they never prosper and get any better, they eventually slack off and dont draw as much as they use to because they think that they are at thier highest peak in the art world... the people that was once under them, rise above them.
id say the number 1 best thing is to not have a big head. No matter how good you are there is someone better than you and you should be humble, but confident. Finding that balance between the two is what is going to make you as best as you can be. Thats the way it is with just about everything in life. Just my two cents.
good advice? ermmm, practise, doodle/sketch everywhere you go and when in the shower or if you see any steamy mirrors bomb the fuck out of them but that aint practisin drawin..just practise
