Well, just wondering if anyone had any art tips? I've been practicing, but often i just doodle (drawing absent mindedly) >.< which doesnt seem to be helping me...lol.
I already posted this URL. But I think it’s great and is just what you are asking for.

This is a quick one I made for someone else here on Animepaper. It should help with the basics of building up the body of a character. Using a technique like this and have a good understanding of drawing in perspective will help keep you are drawings from looking flat. The principles behind it work for all styles of illustration, whether it be anime, disney, or a comic style.
Hope it helps.

If ever you CG your work, use the pen tool in either Illustrator or Photoshop to do your lineart :] It makes your lines clean and crisp!

That’s one of the bets tips one can give!
Takes some time and patience but the final work comes out a lot better.
Man, I should start practicing drawing with the pen tool....it drives me nuts so I stick with the brush usually =p
Any good sites that will help master it?

For me when I was younger i started tracing stuff, then as I got better I coppied from other things as I grew I started drawing real objects and so on. of course that was between the ages of 10-12. I still think something to that effect would help any beginner. Tracing helps you hone sharp straight lines. Copying from sight helps you learn scale and size. Drawing from life starts to teach shadow and depth.
Depending on what kind of finished art you are aspiring to make color can be tricky to learn.
one of the easiest things to do for color is go out and get a nice thick coloring book and a huge box od crayons or colored pencils and shade the colloring book pages.
If you're looking to CG thats another bag od nails in itself, the program (photoshop is my favorite) is expensive to own. but then again comes the massive process of learning the program. I can say I've mastered the program function wise. I've been using it over 10 years now. When i started it was intimidating.
Paints and charcoals/pastels are not my cip of tea I know next to nothing about them.
My current tool of choice are markers. Crap markers are just that ... crap. I have over the past 2 years purchased Copic markers and would gladly sponsor them 100% you can do amazing things with them. The multiliner SP set is about the best inking set i've ever used. they are 1000x better than dip pens or Rapidograph pens.
In a nutshell Practice makes you better and learning your tools accounts for alot of practice. Good luck to you in the future . :)
