Man your mind astonishes me Don, I always wonder what you are thinking, because you always come up with these perfect complete images, do you know exactly what you are drawing in your head before you draw or is it like train of thought? Any pointers man. What helped you to get to this point? I can remember certain nights where I know that I made a step forward in my sketching abilities, I would like to hear about these such experiences if you can relate. If not thats cool, hope to see you soon homeslice. -Jeremy-

well thanx jeremy, well it was pretty simple with this drawing, i was sittin in my friends garage and i felt like drawing, so i looked around and i saw a mosquito flying around....in conclusion this image was the result. y did i give it this look i have no clue, y did i give it the name guido well it rhymes with mosquito (pretty plain shit but owell....its just a sketch)

as for whats goin on in my head? almost 99% of the time when i have a definite image that i want to draw...it comes out the way i want it to (thats just cuz i draw all the time so i know basically what i can do and cant) as for pointers to give? i really dont know what advice i can give...i guess most important keep a clear mind, and relax...if u notice when u draw even when you write after a certain point ur handwriting will slowly change or ull end up writing or drawing harder than before...when u start drawing keep things light all the way thro and breathe!

what helped me get to the point that i am at...drawing all the time, and actually wanting to draw all the time..i think im insane cuz i always want to draw??? (is that a bad thing?)

and i can relate to ur experiences with ur um evolution in sketching if u put it that way? well just as skoo ended my "flow" started after drawing that mosquito i drew two more images that blew me away!!! i rarely hit artist's blocks anymore...wut i do have is idea blocks from time to time. but i think i answered all ur questions....

well thats it for now...i hope i am not breakin any rules by puttin two more images up in this post???...but there will be two more images here soon...

thnx again

If you rename the image as a .txt then you can link to it and it shoud show up.

[brkofdon]

Fuchs- cool thanx, quick question, how would i go about doing that...simply rename the .jpg...to .txt isn't neccesarily working out that well? any suggestions
