How to draw a stalin is where you should begin.

alright, i gotta admit, that was pretty helpfull.
I actually learned quite a bit.
what should I do if there is no reference picture though? what if I'm just free handing, are there specific things I could learn related to that?

..Shit, I wish I had known there was a fucking secret when *I* drew Stalin a week or two ago.

hmm you seem to know a bit more about what i'd be interested in. i've been attempting for a while to draw a decent picture of any sort with only a general idea of how to do so, without using a source pic as suggested above.

how did you get yourself started?

Uhr.. started *drawing*? o_o Got obsessed with Pokemon when I was ten, copied and drew those. Got obsessed with anime when I was eleven, copied and drew stuff from different artists like Rumiko Takahashi and Yu Watase and so on. Got obsessed with circuses when I was fifteen, not that that had much of a bearing, but still, stopped drawing stupid bishounen nonsense and otaku-ish art (see image for example) and started drawing silly little doodles and chibis, developed my own style, tah dah.
Um.. if you mean get myself started here.. I just... doodle stupid chibis and shit and people ignore me and hope I'll go away. :D

If you're trying to learn how to draw better, in all honesty, you'd be best to start by copying the works of others. Go pick up a comic book or a magazine or the newspaper or something and just start drawing what you see. Once you learn the basics, you'll start to develop your own style. Get that mastered before you even attempt oekaki. XD

But if you're just looking for oekaki help, watch animations!
