Mimi  - Dear Ruediger   |: I'd given some thought about why I wasn't so motivated. I think too much about is it impossible for someone who doesn't have a degree in art to get into the art career and excell. If that's true then I'm afraid that I couldn't get serious at all even I wanted to coz I don't have it. Secondly, I've been struggling to forget evry bad thngs my parents said about me drawing all the time. So far i've done only so much that made me forget what is my true purpose. So I think that's what drains me most. Thanks for the tips Reply 0   0

Mimi  - How to get in the mood   |: I didn't get any of these infos anywhere else so far. It's cool and simple! Excpet I didn't find any tips on how to get yourself into the drawing mood because I recently I have this trouble of getting into focus even there is no outside distraction. Got any new tips?

Ruediger  - Motivate Yourself for Drawing   |: Hi Mimi, that's a great question. I just browsed my articles and it seems I've mentioned this topic quite often but only scraped on the surface. So it's time to create some more in-depth material on this. Some first thoughts that may help you: - listen to your favourite music while drawing - go for a walk or do some sports to induce motivation - read a good book on art or study some great artworks to get inspiration Also it's a good idea why you aren't motivated. Is there something you fear (perhaps you fear to fail?). Or is there any other reason that drains your energy and motivation? Happy Drawing Ruediger Reply 0   0

cheng  - ?   |: well,now i think i could draw straight lines better but i want to ask u that how straigth is straight? Reply 0   0

Ruediger  - Drawing straight lines   |: Hi Cheng, an interesting question. My answer: it depends If your creating postcard sized drawings or even smaller, then you need really straight lines. That's why many postcard artists are using rulers. On the other hand - if you're working on big sheets of paper, nobody except you will notice slight deviations from ideal straight lines. So if you find out if your lines are straight enough, show one of your typical drawings to some friends and ask them. Happy Drawing Ruediger Reply 0   0

Nemi  - Best Ways to keep an active sketchbook   |: Hi there, i'm a tad confused when it comes to actually keeping my sketchbook organised if im doing a projector something like that, i want to improve but find myself getting stopping after a few days. i'd like to know if you can suggest ways to keep a more organised sketchbook, like rules for the sketchbook. i have problems drawing things from my imagination & also going through with my ideas or projects. i want to be able to really finish something & have done it well rather than crappy sketches that dont really hold any meaning or relevance to what i really want to do. sorry if i'm not very coherent hope to hear from you soon Blessed Be Nemi x Reply 0   0

Ruediger  - Nemi   |: Dear Nemi, I'm filling my sketchbook using a chronological order ... just one sketch after another ... However when working on a specific project it may be a good idea to create a sketch book especially for this project. Hope this helps Ruediger Reply 1   0

Nemi  - active sketchbook   |: thanks for the response, it kinda helps, thanks again i'll probably respond when i remember exactly what it was i was askin specifically since i can't quite remember what i was going on about take care & blessed be Nemi Reply 0   0

cheng  - ..   |: i think i've practice with the straight line exercise for about 10hours still couldn't get it right...so sad isn't it? Reply 0   0

Ruediger  - drawing straight lines   |: Hello Cheng, can you please send me scans or photographs of your exercises? Maybe I can give you some hints. Also move on with the next lessons, maybe the straight lines lessons need some time to seep in ... Happy Drawing Ruediger Reply 0   0

cheng  - ??   |: i've been practice,practice and practice and practice again and again!!but i can't seem to draw a straight line!!Mr.Ruediger,wat should i do then? Reply 0   0

Ruediger  - first drawing exercises   |: Dear Cheng, for how long have you been practicing? If you think you got stuck with one exercise, move on to the next. Often you'll see how much your results benefit from your previous drawing exercises. Hope this helps Happy Drawing Ruediger Reply 0   0

cheng  - ?   |: well i've bought and prinnt ur ebook(27tested...)and i've got a question how exactly do i know when to move on to the next exercise? Reply 0   0

Angelo  - well, i excel in a different field of drawing! ^__   |: well, you see when i was 5 years old, i think, i already averagely succeed on my drawings, like drawing sceneries, realism, and lots more. but in the field of drawing i really excel in anime drawing, ya know somewhat similar to cartoons but prettier if you mastered it, do you think i can apply the things i learned, in anime drawing? P.S. i know it can apply especially when it concerns perspective and balance. Reply 0   0

Anette   |: Hi, I really like the info I get from this website. I'm just wondering...is it possible to purchase a hard copy of your book - 27 steps? The expenses we have in download time and printing would be more costly for me and I would also like to have everything nicely together. Reply 0   0

Ruediger   |: Hi Anette, a hardcopy version of my drawing course is a great idea. But at the moment this idea is in its early stages. Still have to check how to get the printing done for a reasonable price. The downside: depending on where you live, shipping can be quite expensive ... Ruediger Reply 0   0
