I really can't draw.

I really need some help. I honestly can't draw any beast, humanoid or anything. Anatomy is too hard for me and I can never position anything right with a picture reference. I'm honestly lacking. Any help?

All i can say is keep practising.
If anotomy is particulary difficult then id recomend looking up pics of the creatures skelleton/muscle structure/basic shape and look where its joints are to figure out the movements, how everything relates.
If you can not draw AT ALL FOR THE LOVE OF SOMEONES MOM. Id say start smal. find pictures of desired animals, try to copy em by hand. You wont get it right the first time, it takes practice no matter what.

One can also start with drawing simple stickfigures as the base of your creature. and then fles it out.

There are many tutorials up on the web. so all i can say is look some up and practice practice practice.
drawing good doesnt come overnight.

I really CAN draw! Found the avatars thread again when moonlost (I think) talt us how to make avatars like theirs. I failed compared to theirs, but mine's still good for a newbie! Let me know what you think

that said, keep improving =D

Spent even more time on random testwork, and now I just drawn something random :p Human with eye-mask, odd ear-rings and a neck! If I touch it up a bit, I might even enter it into the WoW fanart section. As I know it has it's little mistakes here and there that I haven't noticed!

Your style seems to be coming out, especially in this latest one. I actually really like it! It's vibrant and stylized.

I'd recomend useing construction when you draw it's the best way of makeing a person/beast look like a person/beast. Construction will make your anotomy correct and all that jazz allso do life drawing that will help heaps. Maybe go to a life drawing class or just draw someone at home.

Trust me they work. It's what got me to where I am today and looking at my stuff before I went to animation school (where I did not use construction) to now it's like a differnt person drew them!.

If it works for the Professionals it will work for you! Practice makes perfect and remmber EVERYONE starts of crap but with alot of hard work you will get better. Drawings a skill NOT a talent. Everyone can draw you just need to train at it.
