I sit(ow)by my bed. Or put it on my chair at my desk(I hate drawing on really flat stuff). Most sitting or lying down in a corner with my little plushes. I never let anyone watch.^^

My friends don't understand because I have to hide when I'm drawing or someone will steal it and claim it their own when they know my drawing style is different(you'll see), or they'll eat it or bug me this "Draw me this, come on! Gee, please?!".
So I hide, bring two sharpeners, guaranteed I'll break one in three. And five pencils and a black pen. And my drawing paper and printing paper, has to be a certain kind for both, and start drawing in the middle of it. It's just me, whatever I open to, I draw on it.
Heck, why do I draw? I don't know..So why can't I tie my shoes?

that is complexifying it a tad
i draw graffiti cause i cant draw anyhting else, and even my graffiti isn't really good. i use a regular pencil for the outlines ot start with and then i trace over it with an old glassmarking pencil.

i can't draw graffiti either! i'm terrible at making words look cool or pretty. although i wish i could! it always looks so awsome! i like drawing fantasy, but i can do real life if i really want to. so far i've been drawing for 2 years and i must say they look ok. lol! i like drawing on printer paper with mechanical pencils and a pink pearl eraser.

Sometimes i can do things like hands, eyes, and shading, and sometimes i can't. sometimes i can draw anything i want, and sometimes i can't draw at all. it goes on and off. when my talent is gone, i give it a few weeks break. i'm happy i found a thread and site where i can discuss things i love seeing or doing. my freinds don't understand when i talk to them so i've given up.

I love to draw, And I know without a doubt that there are many ways to draw. I draw something of A cross between realistic and anime. my own style. I also taught two girls how to better their art over a summer. Each had a particular way of drawing, one did incredible animation, using Japan style. the older sister draws willowy people that are tall and thin and very elvish. What I found most interesting in teaching them is that the anime artist, drew realistic backround, but could not draw cartoonish ones, and the other sister drew cartoonish backrounds.
I love to see the different styles of drawing and each way teaches me something new and cool, I never thought about drawing animation until I met those two girls. So I learned that teaching others teaches you and shares what you have with others, no one can take what you got and though I do not show all my styles of drawing i do show them the basic stuff for proportions and shading.

Tell you one thing. Never ever give me a video camera..
I'm gonna tape an episode(I made a little show)of me and my students.^^
And now I know how to use the computer for it.
(I think I need to ink my drawings first though.)

I agree with Miyaka. Teching something makes
you beter at it. I am a completely self taught
artist. If someone had asked me if I could draw
two years ago, I would have said, "Not even to
save my life," but apparently I was wrong.
I drew an awsome picture of Roy Mustang last
night. I wish I could post it but my computer is stoneage.

I'm gonna draw Edward surrounded by Hunni and Momiji and Suiseiseki.*she's a desu*And Hina Ichigo.
It'll be funny. I'm a self taught person but I've been able to draw since like forever. I know, look through my book from kindergarten. I never learned how to draw stick people! And this was all started by an eye commercial.*has an amazing memory, but has no sense of direction*
I taught myself to swim too. But I doubt it be enough to save my life.*over the last three years*

i've only learned how to draw well a few years ago. it's amazing, cuz you can trace my drawing back through PK and find a definite increase intalent. i went from the most primitive stick person to a pretty good drawing of a human or any thing else i can think of. however, i have definite off days!

I'll put up, when I'm able to, my stages of drawing.
If I ever make a site, I'll put it up there.
Why don't they have that for art projects? That'd be a cool idea, but then again, not many people try to save their old pictures.
Since no one criticizes my drawings, I do, but then if other people are near me they get the idea that it's hopeless for them to draw if I don't like my own. I can't help it!
Ray sometimes does. Meh, he doesn't count.
I'm just gonna get better on my own! And it was lucky my art teacher is a lefty also.
Hey, I should start a drawing club at school.^^Sounds like a good idea? I should. I'll ask my art teacher.

I am also self taught though I have always loved to draw and never had trouble putting the right colors in place, I was ten when I drew my first well drawn picture of the Black stallion. before that
[Since no one criticizes my drawings, I do, but then if other people are near me they get the idea that it's hopeless for them to draw if I don't like my own.]
I know what you mean, My Teacher told me to hang up my picture so I would sit back and look at it, really it turned out to be pure torcher, I saw it every day and every day I saw more and more flaws.

i like to read too, Maybe that is why I love to write.
My mom should me some painings of mine from when I was in kindergarden, one of the paintings was very pretty, all it was, was very organized paint dabs in plue and pink. it looks like cotten candy, I like it because of how the colors worked out, with warm and cold colors, and the pattern that I had done. Then I went through my more resent pictures and became very frustraited with the falts I found. People may love my art but I don't ever want a paiting of mine to hang in my home! It is just too much torcher.
Anyway It is interesting to look back on older painings, to see the progress, we artists are always moving forward in our abilities.
Stick people are a great way to start, after all it is the most fundamental part in drawing it is the first stage in scetching.
