On this page, there are links to several tutorials covering all manner of artwork, including sprite art. No guarantees on how long the links will last, but then, the beauty of using a wiki is that anyone can submit corrections to them. Hopefully, this should provide a very good base of knowledge to work from. None of these can substitute for practice, rather these exist to guide your practice, and help it to improve your skill rapidly, rather than having you flog away at simple cartoon forms for years and not learn anything.<br />
<br />
As stated in some of Jetryl's other tutorials here, ''do not'' jump into the sprite tutorials and ignore the works on general or figure drawing. If you intend to draw sprites well, the ability to draw and visualize the subject in a general sense is an absolute prerequisite. Without exception, the best sprite artists are such because they have good basic art skills; understanding of shading, light, proportion, edging, foreshortening, etc.<br />
<br />
You can't fake those - even if you never practice anything but spritework, the tutorials for "higher art" are very applicable, and will improve your spriting skill considerably.<br />

Andrew Loomis is a master of his field. ''READ HIS BOOKS.'' They are classics, and are of pristine educational calibre, but unfortunately have been out of print for a long time now and will not enter the public domain any time soon. If you have any interest in drawing human beings though, they will help you more than the rest of the tutorials on this page, combined.<br />
<br />
Copies are highly priced and hard to find in most cases, how ever due to demand pirated copies are widely available online. While we don't endorse piracy his books are a great resource and should not be missed.<br />
<br />
I personally recommend starting with "Fun with a Pencil" and "Figure Drawing for all it's Worth".<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
For anatomy George B. Bridgman actually taught Andrew Loomis and is was well regarded for his contributions to art education, his books are still in print and pretty cheap, if you can pick up the smaller individual books I highly recommend doing so, "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life" is a large collection comprising of most of the same drawings and text but due to the changed order and layout is not nearly as good as the originals, luckily some of them have recently entered the public domain and are available from the Internet Archive.<br />
<br />
"Constructive Anatomy" seems a good place to start, "The Human Machine" is much more useful as a reference.<br />

GFXartist.com has several tutorials from different artists, including the painter Craig Mullins, who has, for nearly a decade, been the favorite artist of wesnoth's art slave "Jetryl," and has a good chance of keeping that position for the rest of either fellow's time on this earth. (J- I can't say enough good things about that guy; I would honestly rank him among the greats, like Rembrandt, or Picasso - he's *that* good. The tutorials posted on that site do him little justice - for a better sample, his personal site is http://www.goodbrush.com/ , which has over a thousand of his works.)<br />
<br />
http://www.gfxartist.com/features/tutorials<br />

<br />
<br />
Julie Dillon has a few of her tutorials up on the "How to draw Manga" site. Though obviously focused on the style favored by Japanese comic artists and animators, it does cover all the basics of cell-shading rather well, and also covers basic figure drawing in the style.<br />
<br />
http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/tutorial.html<br />
<br />
<br />
Dan Kim's website Clone Manga has at least four comics in the works, currently, most in rather atypical (and thus, refreshing) styles. He has posted two drawing and coloring tutorials, for use in a photoshop-like program.<br />

A rather large Japanese tutorial on spritework. Note that the tutorial is only in Japanese, and that the html does not automatically set the page to the Shift-JIS text encoding, which is necessary in order to view the page. Even if you don't understand the text, following along with the pictures may be more than enough to teach you something. There are several pages to the tutorial, the arrow links to switch between are at the bottom and top.<br />

There are several pages to the tutorial, the arrow links to switch between are at the bottom and top.<br />

On this page, there are links to several tutorials covering all manner of artwork, including sprite art. No guarantees on how long the links will last, but then, the beauty of using a wiki is that anyone can submit corrections to them. Hopefully, this should provide a very good base of knowledge to work from. None of these can substitute for practice, rather these exist to guide your practice, and help it to improve your skill rapidly, rather than having you flog away at simple cartoon forms for years and not learn anything.<br />
<br />
As stated in some of Jetryl's other tutorials here, ''do not'' jump into the sprite tutorials and ignore the works on general or figure drawing. If you intend to draw sprites well, the ability to draw and visualize the subject in a general sense is an absolute prerequisite. Without exception, the best sprite artists are such because they have good basic art skills; understanding of shading, light, proportion, edging, foreshortening, etc.<br />
<br />
You can't fake those - even if you never practice anything but spritework, the tutorials for "higher art" are very applicable, and will improve your spriting skill considerably.<br />

Andrew Loomis is a master of his field. ''READ HIS BOOKS.'' They are classics, and are of pristine educational calibre, but unfortunately have been out of print for a long time now and will only start to enter the public domain in 2014. If you have any interest in drawing human beings though, they will help you more than the rest of the tutorials on this page, combined.<br />
<br />
Copies are highly priced and hard to find in most cases, how ever due to demand pirated copies are widely available online. While we don't endorse piracy his books are a great resource and should not be missed.<br />
<br />
I personally recommend starting with "Fun with a Pencil" and "Figure Drawing for all it's Worth".<br />

For anatomy George B. Bridgman actually taught Andrew Loomis and is was well regarded for his contributions to art education, his books are still in print and pretty cheap, if you can pick up the smaller individual books I highly recommend doing so, "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life" is a large collection comprising of most of the same drawings and text but due to the changed order and layout is not nearly as good as the originals, luckily some of them have recently become available in the public domain and are available from the Internet Archive.<br />

A rather large Japanese tutorial on spritework. Note that the tutorial is only in Japanese, and that the html does not automatically set the page to the Shift-JIS text encoding, which is necessary in order to view the page. Even if you don't understand the text, following along with the pictures may be more than enough to teach you something. There are several pages to the tutorial, the arrow links to switch between are at the bottom and top.<br />

On this page, there are links to several tutorials covering all manner of artwork, including sprite art. No guarantees on how long the links will last, but then, the beauty of using a wiki is that anyone can submit corrections to them. Hopefully, this should provide a very good base of knowledge to work from. None of these can substitute for practice, rather these exist to guide your practice, and help it to improve your skill rapidly, rather than having you flog away at simple cartoon forms for years and not learn anything.<br />
<br />
As stated in some of Jetryl's other tutorials here, ''do not'' jump into the sprite tutorials and ignore the works on general or figure drawing. If you intend to draw sprites well, the ability to draw and visualize the subject in a general sense is an absolute prerequisite. Without exception, the best sprite artists are such because they have good basic art skills; understanding of shading, light, proportion, edging, foreshortening, etc.<br />
<br />
You can't fake those - even if you never practice anything but spritework, the tutorials for "higher art" are very applicable, and will improve your spriting skill considerably.<br />

Andrew Loomis is a master of his field. ''READ HIS BOOKS.'' They are classics, and are of pristine educational calibre, but unfortunately have been out of print for a long time now and will only start to enter the public domain in 2014. If you have any interest in drawing human beings though, they will help you more than the rest of the tutorials on this page, combined.<br />
<br />
Copies are highly priced and hard to find in most cases, how ever due to demand pirated copies are widely available online. While we don't endorse piracy his books are a great resource and should not be missed, they can be downloaded here. I personally recommend starting with "Fun with a Pencil" and "Figure Drawing for all it's Worth".<br />

For anatomy George B. Bridgman actually taught Andrew Loomis and is was well regarded for his contributions to art education, his books are still in print and pretty cheap, if you can pick up the smaller individual books I highly recommend doing so, "Bridgman's Complete Guide to Drawing from Life" is a large collection comprising of most of the same drawings and text but due to the changed order and layout is not nearly as good as the originals, luckily some of them have recently become available in the public domain and are available from the Internet Archive.<br />

Constructive anatomy seems a good place to start, the Human Machine is much more useful as a reference.<br />

(J- I can't say enough good things about that guy; I would honestly rank him among the greats, like Rembrandt, or Picasso - he's *that* good. The tutorials posted on that site do him little justice - for a better sample, his personal site is http://www.goodbrush.com/ , which has over a thousand of his works.)<br />

If you have any interest in drawing human beings though, they will help you more than the rest of the tutorials on this page, combined.<br />
<br />
Copies are highly priced and hard to find in most cases, how ever due to demand pirated copies are widely available online. While we don't endorse piracy his books are a great resource and should not be missed, they can be downloaded here. I personally recommend starting with "Fun with a Pencil" and "Figure Drawing for all it's Worth".<br />

On this page, there are links to several tutorials covering all manner of artwork, including sprite art. No guarantees on how long the links will last, but then, the beauty of using a wiki is that anyone can submit corrections to them. Hopefully, this should provide a very good base of knowledge to work from. None of these can substitute for practice, rather these exist to guide your practice, and help it to improve your skill rapidly, rather than having you flog away at simple cartoon forms for years and not learn anything.<br />
<br />
As stated in some of Jetryl's other tutorials here, ''do not'' jump into the sprite tutorials and ignore the works on general or figure drawing. If you intend to draw sprites well, the ability to draw and visualize the subject in a general sense is an absolute prerequisite. Without exception, the best sprite artists are such because they have good basic art skills; understanding of shading, light, proportion, edging, foreshortening, etc.<br />
<br />
You can't fake those - even if you never practice anything but spritework, the tutorials for "higher art" are very applicable, and will improve your spriting skill considerably.<br />
