I'm attempting to learn how to draw after failing to do so for the past 6 years. No progress has been made what so ever towards my goals. I'm not out to make a name for myself or have a unique style - in fact quiet the opposite; I'd rather be a carbon copy of the people I'm attempting to mimic. I'm desperately seeking help on learning how to draw
Through the years I've attempted to understand the basics I've gathered tons of books, websites and videos. I have not made a full list of the videos or websites but if it's been linked to thousands of times for generic 'learn anatomy' or 'learn to draw form and mass' I've seen it before. David Finch's videos at Gnomon are the closest I've ever gotten to learning anything but even then I'm looking for something far more basic than what he teaches.
