how you guys get here

I admit, I'm guilty of it — typing questions in the search box, hoping to find a tutorial about the topic. But it's still funny when I find it in my logs. So here's what people type in and mysteriously get here.

how to sketch curvy women

I honestly don't know, I rarely do those.

how to draw eyes and lips

Try searching with quotes: "how to draw eyes", "how to draw lips".

what a fashion sketch should look like

From what I gather, there's no rule. It's important to show how the clothes looks, and people may resemble a hanger, no one will care.

how did michelangelo know how to draw the human body so well?

My guess is he devoted years of his time to study and practice, mainly drawing from life. Just a guess.

how to draw nude chicks

By looking at nude chicks.

lecture boring?

Indeed.

why lectures are boring

Because you're studying something that doesn't interest you. Or perhaps you are interested, but the teacher is so dull he manages to ruin it for everyone, as was the case with my programming class.

great nude chicks

I doubt you were happy with your find.

more.

I don't want those of you who came here for the sketches to feel cheated, so here's something abstract I did in ballpoint pen during the *sigh* lectures.

Drawing used to be the last thing on my mind

Some kids know it from the start.
I was never one of them.
At first, I didn't know one can do it for living.
Later, I met many kids who were so much better than me, I thought to myself there's no point in even trying.
I was the bright one when it came to math, physics, chemistry and one of the best in programming, so I decided to persuade a career in science.
By the end of high school, my mind was already set in stone — I had no idea I'd change it in less than a year.

I was never the most talented kid in class when it came to drawing. Apart from the regular art class, I never drew anything for myself. If I did, I was so unsatisfied with it that it ended up in the trash bin right away. For this reason I don't have any of my drawings from age 6 to 14 — if they were good, teachers took them and put them in their folders, from which they chose a few to exhibit in the school hall — my works were sometimes chosen, but even if they weren't, we never got them back. They ended up in a box in some closet, meaning nothing to anyone. Perhaps after all these years, they even threw them away. The only art I created at that time is lost, forever.

But thanks to my mom, I have a bunch of notebooks full of drawings I made when I was little. From the earliest abstract scribbles at age 2, to Mickey Mouse and other comic characters I was obsessed with at that time.
I don't like to go back in time, because the happiest days I ever had are happening now. But looking at my old drawing always makes me smile.

evil Xor from outer space

Sometimes I'm a geek like that. But the credit for this idea goes to my classmate who uttered XORRRR while I was pissing my pants.

I like to sketch

So I decided to give my doodles, studies, in-development and other stuff a decent home.
