Preview lesson J01 - 100 Terrific Tips

This is really useless, nice to feel warm and fuzzy with positive thoughts and all, but for those of us actually trying to learn actual techniques and methods to real artwork this is a waste of time.

I would put this one in the beginner category. Not much new for the intermediate artist, IE: "The farther away objects and people are, the smaller they appear to be".

Pictures and examples would give this text-only article more value.

Handy referance for beginners tho.

I found the Tips very useful.

I found them useful also.

Adding pictures of what the lesson is trying to explain would a lot more usefull

I am a freelance art teacher and i find it most valuable to review good suggestion such as these. I am as much a student as I am a teacher. Thanks

With 100 tips I find that sometimes I forget some valuable lessons. It's good to have a refresher on hand here.

No pictures? Drawing lessons should always have drawing samples! It's a visual art form. Too much text!

I thought that your lesson is most intreiging, I enjoyed reading the drawing for dummie's.

wow that was like totally awesome

Didn't feel like drawing tonight, so I came to the tips to help recap a few things & learn a few others.So very useful.

ive been drawing for some time now (like a year of two )
and ive been using some of these things to
but some hints are kinda weird . . .

like in the Protecting your drawings part
the most are true but its kinda overreacted (sry for bad spelling )
It sounded like the pictrue could burst into flames in a sec by just laying on your desk

IT IS NOT EASY TO OPEN A FILE I COULD NOT OPEN THE 100 TIPS MYDIANEjava script:emoticon(':wacko:',%20'smid_17')

want to learn please

very useful page to have.

Great Lesson.

Alot of good "refresher" tips as some have said. And its perfect for beginners.

I wouldve liked some visual examples though, especially when talking about composition.

thank you very much for all the help and tips. I have learnt so much in the last month more so than ever before, I dont seem to be as frustrated when thing dont work out, because now they do,I used to stay away from doing faces because of the eyes but with your help im getting so much better..... thank you very much

This picture is so cool! I love it! Keep on drawing!!

As I was reading the 101 tips I`d think oh yeah
I forgot that ,so yes these are helpful and a good
memory jogger but some illastrations to back up
some tips would be useful.Over all great.

New here but just wondering why we have to pay?
Thanks

thaaaaanx ^^

I loved this. It really gets you motivated and offers some great advice. Also, Brenda's art is AMAZING!
`Thank You

You don't HAVE to, but if you do, you get to download the lessons to use offline.

I disagree with too much of this to care for it.

Thanks,

always good to have a refresher

It was good to read the many grateful comments. The few who revealed their knowledge is total and they have no need for wisdom don't matter.

Drawspace is a wonderful website and everything done here is welcome and enriching to life.

That so many commented on 101 tips makes me think they must have been augmented not so long ago and this old man wants to let everyone know that each is valuable and the collection well worth re-visiting from time to time to make sure you continue to know all there is to know in this life.

These are helpful tips. I probably will visit this lesson again and again.

This is awesome information that will help create drawings of the town in my book. Where I grew up, that so many people treasure memories of. Thanks for your help. You know how to teach to relate to what we feel.
