Ade filmed me drawing this morning. You might wanna turn the sound down, as I had System of a Down playing in the background and forgot...sorry.

Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards is a good book to start off with. I noticed after reading and doing the excercises in it that I improved by a big leap.

After that its pretty invaluable to take some life drawing classes and learn anatomy.

As for style, the best advice I can give is to look at and copy as many different artist's styles as possible and keep drawing then eventually your own style will emerge. (I'm still working on mine!)

P.S. I have crap teachers too. Mainly because they never teach anything. I get so pissed off with them.
