hand drawing skills

[__fangoria]

I've been immersed in the world of grapic design for several years now (since I was about 9;I'm 17 now) and have been told by quite a few people that I have a good eye for it.I've always wanted to do this for a career,or at least freelance,but there is a problem;my hand drawing skills are pretty terrible.Are there any methods,books or anything else

oh, and that book was recommended to me by a guy that painted this


so it's not a recommendation I make lightly, haha.

Poor (whom I'm assuming is) Gregor. I do love the detail of the Escher-esque print on the side of his blanket.

I am definitely going to have to check out this book. From the way you describe it, I'm reminded of James Elkins' The Object Stares Back: On the Nature of Seeing, which I adored--even if it was rather dense at times.

Yeah, it is a dense read - so it isn't for everyone, but like I said - it can give you a new outlook on art, especially the fact that what isn't there is just as important as what is.
