i practiced with a picture and i was very happy with my results, but recently i have been using laptop for pictures and every time i draw it does not work and looks bad,im thinking its because i cant see the detail on pc screen do u think its best if i use picture instead? do see clear detail of what i am copying??

@vinny111 I always use both these days :) I use the paper copy to get the scale correct and the computer screen to zoom in for detail. It's quite hard to draw something vertical and then draw it horizontally on a surface because the perspective changes. That's why I have the piece of paper i scale up from. :)

This has been really helpful, i always had no clue about pencil led and what the numbers meant o.o i dont really swap and change pencils when i draw nor am i any good at shading. But i shall learn! I've always used my finger to blend... oops xD

Thanks so much for these tutorials. I never know what to smudge with and I used to use my fingers and found it always went wrong but I never knew why :)
