Read comic books, that's all I can say. That's where I learned to draw people from--because distorted or not, that's what they focus on, and as long as you find good artists to study (may I suggest Jim Lee?) you're in great shape. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Yay Hitchiker!

And I better be, I'm at art school...;)&lt;br /&gt;I happen to be a detail-freak (which probably explains why so many of my things go unfinished; I get distracted/bored before I've gotten all my little fiddly stuff in them), so that explains that, even though I don't always achieve the level of detail I want. But backgrounds...erm...well, as you can see, I sort of suggested a rock... &lt;br /&gt;Yeah, I'm not a big background fan. Give me blank colored spaces any day! lol&lt;br /&gt;And keep drawing! That's the only thing one can do...I'd love to see your work, if you have it up anywhere.
