(aka "I Wish Someone Had Told Me This")
Are you thinking about starting a new creative endeavor that involves sequential art? Something you hope beyond family and friends will read? Have you thought about this project at all past the initial "can't wait to start working" phase?
Stop. Listen to what I am about to say. Many webcomic writers/artists make the same mistakes (myself included) by jumping straight to the "let's start drawing now" phase, bypassing the planning stage.

T: Basic Sketching Tutorialby *Lurockia

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Traditional Art / Drawing / Other

It's here! It's finally here!
Ladies and Gentleman it is with great pleasure that I present to you folks my very first tutorial. I held a poll several months ago asking what sort of things you'd like me to cover. To my surprise, many of you expressed a desire on how to start a basic sketch.

Well my faithful viewers, wait no longer for it is here! I have to say that this took far longer than I ever expected it to take. I can only hope that the ones I do in the future won't take nearly as much time but I'll worry about that when I get around to working on them. I hope that you enjoy this tutorial!

I've provided a ZIP file in the downloads for those of you who prefer to see this tutorial in sections as well as close ups of the sketches for studying purposes. Thank you for viewing!
