	Asking that was the first step: congrats! Practice, practice, practice, and practice! There's no magic, it just takes work and time. Anatomy is not the easiest part (I can't help you with it!), maybe you should start by drawing simple things and leave the human body for later. Draw on paper, from life (not from photographs), things just as they are, everything around you: your room, your pets, your city, landscapes, still lifes, etc. Don't try to make it nice, but make it true. Do it all the time and everywhere, have a sketchbook with you at all times. Draw the same things again and again until your hand knows them. Experiment with light, understand how it works. Photography can help you there. Search the forums, here and there, there are a lot of highly interesting threads. Find tutorials, but don't expect too much from them. Looking forward to see stuff from you! Edited by Manupix - 22 September 2009 at 4:08pm
