Could some of you suggest drawing tutorials?

[keac]

I need digital drawing tutorials. You may suggest sites, videos or YouTube channels, that would help a lot.

(I wanna apply this on drawing comics digitally, I have a separate plan in drawing traditionally, but yeah... Don't bother)

Thanks a bunch

Hello!
What kind of tutorials are you looking? I mean, digital drawing is very, very huge! It can be for realism colorisation to manga cellshading. Or even how to draw manga eyes. So, what are you looking for in this big "digital" section?

Two websites that can help you anyway :
CG Cookie - great website to understand a lot of things!
Sycra - youtube channel, with very interesting tutorials about colors, perspective, drawing... yay!

[keac]

Well, I guess... I wanna learn drawing manga and draw backgrounds on a page. I wanna practise too, hehe

[izzyxmelon]

For digital painting, I suggets CTRL+PAINT:

• The website.
• The YouTube channel with shorter episodes.

I agree with @getstuart, Sycra is a good place to look, with fundamentals so you can go ground up. Basically it's what he wish he knew.

Sycra's friend The Jetty Jet Show focuses on manga style, and so does Mark Crilley.

You can try Deviantart. Alot artists are willing to share their technics with you

I think there's no huge difference between drawing digitally and traditionally if you actually mean drawing. Draw from nature, or from photos, watch manga of your favorite artists and try to understand how it's drawn. Don't afraid to ask your favorite artists on Tapastic and DA or other art and comic sites. Also I suggest you to draw traditionally more, even though you ask for digital tutorials. Traditional media doesn't allow you to "Ctrl+Z", it teaches you to work neater, feel the dynamics of lines, understand the color. Read about proportions, hatching and perspective. Almost any "tutorial" or book will give you information.

Anatomy > http://foervraengd.deviantart.com/art/UNDERSTANDING-ANATOMY-part-I-220251993 (or better get a book, for example Christopher Hart's books, I have "Human anatomy made amazingly easy" and it's great for beginners. "Figure It Out!:
The Beginner’s Guide to Drawing People " also seems nice. I haven't read it, but it looks like a newer version of the previous one.)
Get a sketchbook and sketch. Tutorials can teach you techniques, but they won't teach you drawing.

Thanks for posting this i really need to get some help with my drawing.

Hullo! First post on Tapastic, here! c:

I like to turn to Pinterest for tutorials, it typically takes the tumblr and Deviantart tutorials and puts them in a good place to find them. It's also great for finding and keeping references neat and organized! I also follow and favourite a lot of tutorials from Tumblr.

Just don't make the same mistake I did, learn as much of traditional anatomy as you do manga style, I learned straight-up Manga, and when I wanted to change my style later, I had a VERY hard time of adjusting to drawing new muscle groups. I'm still learning, but aren't we all?

good luck on your art!

[Vikiro_Hop]

Yes! In relation to that Pinterest Character Design, probably the most important bookmark I have ever made. Anatomy and just going through and looking at all the different styles helped a lot. I especially need to work on making clothing more dynamic and interesting.

[serenitysquirrel]

Youtube, deviantart. And this Pntrest thingie is pretty helpful too

Everyone draws different. Try many things. Many styles.

One of the best things you can do to help your drawing is learn gesture drawing, and practice LIFE drawing.

For some ideas on what gesture means and how it's used check out these videos:
1.

2.

If you want practice doing short gesture drawings you can use the applications on SketchDaily or PixelLovely. Boh allow you t choose clothed or unclothed models, types of poses, length of time each pose is up, male or female etc. This is a great tool for learning gestures. I really suggest grabbing your drawing tools putting in an hour just drawing quick gesture sketches. Do that for a week and I PROMISE you, your forms will be MUCH better! Once you get these ideas done, start going out to cafes, parks, schools where ever and practice drawing the people or animals around you!

Also if you're not checking out the tutorials on Proko you really should be!

Patrick Shettlesworth had a bunch of tutorials on the manga basics. Those were a start from this link here. http://www.polykarbon.com/tutorials/
. . . Which is ten years old . . . for a website.
My favorite tutorials were from the Christopher Hart books found in the local library. Also studying from multiple different artists and tutorials instead of just one style is also a good way to learn. That's how I got my start but how you approach your artwork is up to you.

Here's my Tutorials favorites folder from my Deviantart account. There's a decent amount here, so go nuts! XD -

I just started drawing with intentions of becoming better 2 years ago, and I improved significantly (but still not enough). All thanks to the tutorial videos i watched back then and at the present:

At first I watched Sophie-chan's youtube video:
http://www.google.com.ph/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=6&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0CCwQtwIwBWoVChMI77KupeCvxwIV0giOCh1X2gNf&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D4NABndKnAzo&ei=bKLRVe_MPNKRuATXtI_4BQ&usg=AFQjCNE87WXSf0Q0LJ9HOr10bpJx98crgg&bvm=bv.99804247,d.c2E

this one was really helpful, but more on the inspirational side. I just followed the step to step instructions and I was able to create a pretty neat drawing that i never thought that i could ever make.
It just really made me want to draw more.

When you're still in the beginner phase, watching MarkCrilley's videos in youtube can help you a lot also. They teach a lot of fundamentals in drawing that will help later on.

You can skip the last step though because Sycra's youtube videos have both tutorials for beginners, intermediate, and pros alike. Although his videos can reach up to 40 or more minutes long, but if you're committed, he won't disappoint.
You can also "buy" wink wink the books "How to Draw Manga Sketching (Manga-Style) Vol 1-5". They're quite a lot though so be sure to have some fortitude for reading them.

I highly recommend watching the first video, for encouragement. But also I more-highly recommend that you don't just stick to manga/anime style. It's best to have a versatile set of styles and skills in drawing. Drawing realistically can also help you in drawing manga, cartoon, and any other styles as they are all related and the concept are just the same as long as you understand them. That's why Sycra's videos are basically the art-foundation kit as he teaches everything that's helpful to drawing anything... AS IN ANYTHING!!!

When you're just walking around, or not even walking just looking at things though, try to absorb the information (or the form of objects or people).
The most important skill in drawing is observation.

Hey, I hope you are fine and doing great.
When I was a beginner, I also used to ask these types of questions. One day, somebody on the internet, recommended me to watch Jia's Art Drawing Tutorials. After watching some of her tutorials, it was so easy for me to draw a face or eye drawing.

All I need to tell you that this is only you and your practice on the drawing. I used to draw 6 hours on a single drawing. But after hours of struggle, now I am able to draw a portrait and creative drawings.
Why I am recommending Jia's Art
Because she has a 5-step method of any drawing. In her drawing tutorials, you will watch very easy and creative drawings in just 5 steps.
have a good day!

http://posemaniacs.com for gesture and pose drawings, and definitely hunt for Bob Ross videos to learn more about backgrounds and settings. The man was a genius with visuals and you'll gain his skills in no time.
