iPad Pro Learn to draw

[eclipse01]

I know this might have been a better fit in the "apps" area, but I really wanted to possibly get into drawing, but I really suck bad at it.

If I buy an Apple pencil 2, is there a good app out there that can teach me?

Im using sketchclub for my cartoons, but draw with a finger instead of a stylus.
The drawings i use are imported pencil sketches through the ipad camera, and drawn over.
As far as learning to draw, i recommend using a real pencil and paper simply to get the basics of portions realistic, which i cant do on an ipad. I see alot of distorted and unporportioned drawings because the artist did not draw the subject as whole.
I hope this makes sense, kinda hard to explain.......

Aside from the hardware, I’d suggest Udemy.com for online classes. Their instructors are good, they’re inexpensive, and I’m sure I saw at least one or two courses on introductory drawing.

When i interned at MAD, nick ficaro advised me to always draw, watching tv, sitting on a bus, always draw

I’d also suggest them! They’re the best!

MAD was a great magazine.i remember reading it as a teen many moons ago. One Flew Over the Cookoos Nest edition was one of my favs.

You were given solid advice.

OP, I agree with Bill. Start with pencil and paper.

Hmmm...drawing apps that teach? I do not know.

Procreate is fantastic though.

I watched several anatomy videos on YouTube and just fiddled around. Whenever I copy comic book art, anything I draw right after that is always better.

Anyone can learn to draw. I have a long way to go, but am so happy with just getting lost in the process and drawing. If the finished product doesn’t match what I was copying, or articulate what’s in my imagination, I strive to happily accept the end result.

I love MAD magazine too! I remember they had an article on phobias, and one was “Opecaphobia”, the fear of gas prices going up while filling your tank!

Always dug “The Lighter Side” monthlies as well.

On topic, there is the /r/learntodraw subreddit to help beginners. There are also tons of great YouTube drawing instructors, like Proko.

I remember long ago buying a drawing program, installing it and then realizing that I could not draw anything. Some can learn while others have so much talent!

Good luck on your journey!

Good luck! It's a funny thing I was thinking about getting into drawing today and just came across this thread.

Me too. Like forever I have only been able to draw one thing... a kitty cat face I learned as a child from a comic book. LOL a2
