Tutorial?

[sigune]

pennswoods left me a comment at Artistic Alley in which she suggested that I write an art tutorial sometime. Now, I'm not sure I should be tutoring anyone about anything art-related, seeing as my methods aren't really based on any expert knowledge or skill; but if some of you think I could be of any help somehow, I could give the idea some thought. Hence, a poll! ;)

Mmm, yes, I feel the same. I'll see if I can think of a way to share some things, but it's really - I haven't got a system or anything; I just try things and am surprised when they work :D. And they don't always *g*.

Am I mistaken here, or have you bought some "how to" art books recently? What is your experience with them?

Yes I did indeed. I bought a book of faces for reference since I find it a totally bitch and a half to find some of what I want on the Internet. I also bought a book on drawing light and shade because I really want to find a way to add more depth to my pictures. I'm kind of lazy and inconsistant with this, however, I think the light and shade influenced my most recent canon drawing, particularly with respect to how I colored or shadowed Snape's face.
