does the fact that you can't draw haunt you at night? makes your sleep a restless and unsatisfying one? do you wish, nay, yearn for a few tips on how to make a sketchpad react to your very will?

of course it doesn't, and of course you don't.. but to maintain the effect and purpose of this site, we'll say it does, and we'll say that you do.

welcome to art basics, where i'll not only give you a few tips on how to draw and colour, but i'll probably cause several english buff's eyes to boil with my amazing lack of capitalization.

note: the techniques i demonstrate here are intended for use soley on traditional media artwork.
