so i wanna take some sort of class or some online course maybe on drawing and art n shit. is this a good way to learn or is it better to just keep drawing and improve through practice? my current level of skill is utter shit. Chris chan does a better job then I do.

Use photo refs, look at tutorials, practice, ask people for critiques. It's free and you work on your own schedule.

A class/online course is going to put you back a few hundred bucks.

You want to learn how to draw online...Start with E-bay...buy some drawing books.

I suggest [i]Figure Drawing (For what it's worth)[/i] by Andew Loomis and [i]Art & Illusion[/i] by E H Gombrich.

Or if your too lazy, look through an anime insider or gaming magizine for poses and backround references. Hmmm I should put up a tutorial on how I draw anime eyes since most people find eyes the trickiest. (Plus I suck at hands xD)
