Draw To Learn I How

I guess that really depends on how bad you want to learn, how well you learn on your own and what the ultimate goal is. I have a great site for learning to draw basics, just for learning to draw on your own.

Complex website huh?

Drawing is 75% observation and 25% placing what you see on to paper (regardless of if it is an actual object or your imagination), therefore the first step in learning how to draw is to develop your observation. Noticing how something curves, the blend of colors, and so forth is key. The second thing is practise tuning your hands to be accurate based on your observation - this comes with time. Of course there is much more to it, but this is the basis for everything else in my opinion.

I agree, JB. You need to learn to break things down into shapes. Don't look at a person and try to draw what you think a person looks like, for example. Look at a person, but really SEE the shapes. The only way to really improve is to just keep going, day after day, carry a sketchbook with you and draw all the time. Your observational skills will really increase, and your hand will grow more adept at getting out what you see quickly and with accuracy. I would do well to take my own advice! This is how you can learn to draw on your own, but of course it would be even better to take a class, read a book recommended by real artists or art teachers.

I did a lot of drawing as a teenager. I stopped when I was an adult. I took an unusual art class about 10 years ago from a woman who taught you to draw by looking at other artist prints and measuring the length of the face or whatever object you were drawing. Then she taught you how to do shaping and shading by oberservation this helped me a lot. Since I was starting to learn to draw allover again. Taking a class is good just try to find the right one that works for you.
