It Wandered In From the Wastes
I've decided to post this because many people i see are doing good drawings but their not getting the anatomy or the fine details right. Even sometimes going back to the basics will help your overall drawing skills so heres (in my opinion) the cleanest and the best set of tutorials, done by my good friend Patrick Shettlesworth.

Heres the contents webpage, i advise you to start simple! he does cover some quite advanced stuff but you should start with the basics e.g. hands, feet, poses before you get into fighting angles and gun flares.

Heres a few examples of some of his tutorial drawings, just to get you started.

this one was just an example of foreshortening. its quite basic.

using simple stick figures to start with, you can build up your pictures (anatomically correclty) into this:

And last but not least he also gives an example of how to use camera angles to depict action (in this case its a few story boards)

Hope this has been helpful! I went through all of these tutorials some time back and found them extremely good in building up the skills i needed to draw with confidence. It also gives you a better opportunity to focus on the creative side, not worry about 'oh did i get the hair right, is his left arm long enough, his feet dont look right etc etc). cheers.

Jee, thanks mister. No one here has the ability to search for these things on their own, we need you to do it for us. I really need the ability to draw like someone else, with the big anime heads and huge legs and boots. I hear people with huge, bizarro marble eyes are the in thing to draw this year.

Tell me, in your 52 posts today did you post ANY of YOUR art? Did you dig up enough old ass threads to satisfy your noobly urges?
 
Ghetto Goose has some sort of attitude problem - holyrebellion, great post! I´m going to bookmark that link . . I´m sure this will help lots of people. They´re anime, sure, but they´re not that far away from drawing "real" human beings - they´re a simpler way to depict anatomy, and a good way for a beginner to start.

teh fonx, MR = Mutants Rising - a mod I and lots of other guys are working on.
 
*wipes sweat off brow* i thought i did something wrong =S im glad u liked it! its my favourite site, and yes your right, even though its cartoons, they're still good to practise with! =]

how about a link, i dunno, i kinda have to side with goose here, you come into a forum, dont even post your own art, and draw all overmine, something just doesnt feel right,
 
Ghetto Goose and teh fonx are right, holyrebellion. It's not them who are being arrogant, it's you. In the best case, you remind me of a bible salesman. In the worst case, well, you don't want to know.
 
lol two extremes meet and holy runs off

just chill, construtive comments are welcome but just dont go upping threads everywhere mkay ?
 
K, you´ve taught holy well :)

holy - we act in a certain way here at NMA. It´s a sort of bitter, careful way of posting we live by here . . so, whenever a new guy shows up, he gets trashed for being green. It happened to me, and it pissed me off a whole lot. It´s just a matter of adapting.

I hope you stick around.
 
Holy Rebellion, you might want to read this article on Netiquette (credit goes to Rosh by the way).

You have not made a good first impression, though all is not lost, just try and observe what rules people obey here.

happened to me too, and it still does, and I still get pissed of...just wait, you'll see...it's just a matter of time...
 
We'll see what, Kahgan? Either you learn to behave or you get your ass handed to yourself, after it has been shred to tiny bits by Roshambo, and banned.

The rules aren't that strict nor hard to remember.

eey, I didn't mean anything bad about it...I didn't say it was anything wrong..I just pointed out that some people(like me) have dificulties adapting...If I said it in real, I would have said it in a humoristic tone...but it's a litle hard to write in a humoristic tone :)
 
Interesting, though I understand GG's concern (Ghetto Goose). I appreciate the style and perhaps I will get started.

About time I got something to do, thanks HolyRebellion, your my hero.
