dude, no website's gonna help you sketch better. just buy a good little sketchbook, something you're comfortable with, and a good pen. sketch every day. sketch stuff you see. sketch stuff you think. just sketch.

I thought so. Try as I might, without any guidance I don't seem to be making much progress beyond my current level. But thanks for your thoughts Cris.

practice sketching in scale also...

mono.....go to the library, Check out "Design Drawing" By Kirby Lockard. Read it from front to back structure your drawings as he does in the book and you will find great improvement in your sketching ability in no time at all. Most of the time people can't
sketch cause they are thinking about it all wrong. You most likely
are trying to incoporate to many things into your sketch in an out of order sequence. So you have a hard time improving the quality of your sketches. You have to devise a system, which represents a clear method of projecting what you are seeing onto paper.

His is the fool proof method.

Practice drawing straight lines vertical and horizontal over and over again...had a drawing instuctor who made us do this for days and it actually helped a ton.
also made us trace hunreds of perpectives to get our hands to 'memorize' and learn to draw. Then you remember when your not tracing.
like Cris said just sketch.

i've heard some mixed things about him, but mostly positive comments about mike lin's rendering workshops... i haven't been to one myself... his website is be loose

i think that he also has some books...

Thanks guys. In between your posts I've been sketching loosely with a range of different pencils and I think I've miraculously improved just by sitting down for an hour and sketching some of the structures from within the images section of Archinect. And thanks for the book recommendations all.

Draw configurations, patterns, constellations and systems, not just things you can see. Drawing is more than imitating vision.
