How do I improve my drawing skill?
There's an elusive attitude that artists have. The way they look at the world is different from what common sense teaches us. I learned it from a book called "Drawing on the right side of the brain." I used to be a stick man. Then I applied the principles, and in no time went from zero to pretty decent. I drew this: http://bit.ly/JbJliu And this: http://bit.ly/KHWbF7 Pretty decent. Here's the book: http://amzn.to/drawingBook You still have to practice practice practice, but it's no longer groping in the dark. You see progress immediately. Good luck!
How can I improve my drawing ?
My friend, that's the question I ask to myself daily. People say that how they can enhance their drawing skills. But if one thinks, improving one's drawing skills is just a matter of practicing – practicing for years.You see, many people draw for two or three weeks and then wish their skills could improve. They fail to realize that this rate of improvement is happening on a much larger scale. It just needs a lot of devotion and dedication, and then, one can really see one's progress. That was once a case with me. But now I know that it is not going to happen in a blink of an eye and I keep drawing and drawing with my mind and heart fully committed.As far is the question of improving your shading, take a simple symmetrical object, say a glass, and try to share it by different methods. Shading is not only that smooth gradient you might see in masterpieces. Scribbling and line shading are some other methods. Use that which works for you. After, you have mastered shading these simple objects, move on to the complicated ones and keep increasing the difficulty. I will recommend a book, “A Guide to Drawing” by Daniel M. Mendelowitz, Duane A. Wakeham and David L. Faber. It tells about a lot techniques one can use in one's drawings. It might come in handy.You know, in drawing, no one is a perfect artist. There is always something to be learnt, there is always the next level.I will appreciate if if you like my answer.

How to improve my drawing skills?
well I have been in the same boat about that I have collected over 128 books just on art I found some of the best book motivate you to draw but my favorite ones that changed my life are the books from Scott Mccloud I think he has three different books the most current one I think is Understanding Comics it is a great book about the idea behind comics as a art form. the style of reading is in comic book form he does a awsome job making you want to read it and you will be changed by the end of the book. if you want some instructional books there is a teacher at sjsu (san jose state) that has book the help you understand the body and how to draw it for animation http://www.sheldonsartacademy.com/ I personally have had him and my level has improved leaps and bounds. tangent a little bit there have been people who just watch his videos and buy his book and they are amazing artist DO NOT PIRATE HIS STUFF pay for it its not worth the risk and he updates his books all the time and its worth the money. umm lets see Jack Hamm hes a oldy but good, he has great drawing scenery book and cartooning the head and figure. the Disney archival series is a little expensive but great stuff to trace. George B. Bridgman has released many good books there are tons out there and all good prices. last one for now is Burne Hogarth Dynamic anatomy I have is the revised and expanded Ed that is a awesome book. well good luck on your artist journy..

Draw exactly what you see. Not what you know. If you want to learn realism, use references. Don't look down at your paper and start drawing an eye because you already know what an eye looks like. I can promise you, you don't. Follow the shape that you see in your reference. A good exercise to train your brain is doing blind contours. You'll hate doing them, but trust me, it's good for you. Just draw something you're looking at without looking at your paper. It wont be pretty, but it will train your brain to not draw what you think you already know.
Drawing: How can I improve my lines?
This is an excerpt from one of my lessons on this subject…Pencil control is a vital part of successful drawing. It will effect how well we can perform each step of the drawing process from establishing rough outlines to the final touches of shading. Very subtle changes in pressure with your pencil can result in significant improvements to your drawing, especially while shading. Soft variations of tone can only be achieved with a good level of pencil control.The first tip to improve your linework is to lighten up your grip and pressure. If you let your pencil gently glide over the paper rather than forcing it you will be able to get much better looking lines.It starts with your grip, a drawing grip is very different to writing. With drawing we want to hold the pencil further up the shaft and grip it rather softly.Rather than gripping tightly which forces the pencil into the paper, try holding your pencil about half way up the stem of the pencil by gently resting it on the edge of your third finger. Use your middle finger to cradle the pencil into position with the end of the pencil resting on the inside arch of your hand. Your thumb and forefinger can close gently on each side of the stem for extra support to stop any pencil movement.It’s important not to grip tightly however. Allow the pencil to rest on the inside arch of your hand, with your fingers and thumb having just enough pressure to support the pencil. When you draw the line, let gravity and the weight of pencil be the only downward pressure that is applied.Now here’s the key… keep your fingers and wrist fixed in position and use your entire arm to make the movement across the page. If you use just your fingers you will force pressure and also limit the movement of your pencil. By using your whole arm you will find it much easier to create straight lines or smooth curves.Another tip… Wherever possible guide the pencil by pulling along in the direction of the line rather than pushing it, this will help you to keep the pressure light.
