There is no fast way to become proficient in something like this "or there would be a world flooded with accomplished artists." Believe it can be done and put in the required effort. It looked like an excellent place to get started and with all the help from any books of this type, the most common failure is to try to take short cuts or leave out steps in the process and not follow to the letter what ever is being taught. It was advertised in the mag for $12.95 in '98. I checked out and they had it but listed it for around $75. You can go on line at and I haven't kept up with their mag but several years ago they were advertising a paperback titled "Cartooning" by Don Edwards.
One of the books that I had in mind is published through Airbrush Action Magazine. Most have been encouraged from an early age and have spent countless hours working on perfecting their skills but if you start out with the best helps and put your mind to it, you can learn more than conventional wisdom will admit. Don't be fooled into thinking that because someone has an eye for detail or perspective or ten years of practice under their belt that you should just throw in the towel. I'd like to encourage anyone that wants to improve their chances from whatever their basic skill or talent is presently. But for better ones like the one that I posted in the Virtual Kustomz thread, It took me about 2 days to get that one done.Ĭlick to expand.Learning to draw like Chip Foose, Kenny Youngblood and just about anyone that is an accomplished illustrator of cars is not something you will learn from a few art classes, but like any apprenticeship, if you start with the basics you can end up with an acquired skill and this is more likely to happen if you are under twenty than if you are already involved in life with a young family and job responsibilities. For a half-assed drawing that looks similar to what its supposed to be, itll take me about 45 min. Wrong, it takes a good while to get a good drawing to look right. Lately, Ive started drawing again, Im supposed to be working on a drawing for the Virtual Kustomz thread, but haven't had the chance lately(or the patience, damn ADD )īut one misconception that people think about drawing though, is that they think they can sit down and draw an outstanding sketch in just 5 minutes. I used to draw and practice every chance I had.
Anyway, I could draw ok Id say when I was younger, but I took a couple of classes my high school had and it really helped. Im from more of a creative family, such as my mom was well known around our area from her painting on arts and crafts. I can draw pretty well, not like chip foose, but still not to bad. Id say drawing is part talent and part hard work from my stand point on it.
