Maybe this is a stupid question but here goes anyway.
Is it possible that someone can learn to draw through tutorials in books and videos, etc? I was hopeless at art when I was in school but there again I wasn't really interested then and I also had an ******* for an art teacher. I now do quite a lot of photography editing in Photoshop but would also like to get into the artistic aspects of Photoshop. Would I be flogging a dead horse or would it be possible, with practice and the right tuition to become at least a little bit better at drawing?

quite a good introduction!
with a little self discipline it is possible to learn,
but practice is needed a lot!!!
i second Frolicy,
rivenpheonix really knows how to teach and how to make it simple enough to understand even if you can't right your name straight on a line... you watch his videos if its on youtube or downloaded from somewhere you'll learn how to draw.
with or without tutorials, enough practice is always rewarding. I recommend a small sketch book and a pen to carry everywhere and draw what you see, just like a photo camera. Like this you will see that your drawing line becomes better.
yes practice makes perfect,
but knowing secrets from inside the 3dworld of animators and designers from different company's that have gone to schools for this and have been doing it for years speeds up to process a lot but,
you'll learn nothing if you don't Really want to do it, if you don't really know if you want to learn how to draw good in this case i wouldn't even try, untill you make a decision, or you'll learn nothing, no matter how many tutorials you take, or how long you draw you've got to Want to learn to learn...
sorry for my rambling i got a little carried away lol.
It is never too late for you to learn how to and be good at drawing. The most important thing is that you enjoy/love drawing. Thus you will be drawing regularly if not everyday and therefore you will improve. The more you draw the more it will become part of you.
There are tones of tutorials out there (books/video) that are very good. Look at the type of drawing that inspires you and study it. Have also an actual teacher (someone experienced in drawing) to couch you. What is really going the make the difference is how much time you spend drawing on your own.
Thanks you all for your replies and advice. You have all given me the encouragement to actually go ahead and get to learning. I am keen to learn so it's good to know that there is hope for me in my quest to learn. Now I know that I can learn if I put the effort in and really want to learn. So..... it's about time I started.
Thanks all.
ever thought about live drawing classes? I did them in my foundation year from november to april once a weak, and i was'nt that good at drawing but I improved
Im kinda in the same boat, would love to get into drawing more but i cant get passed my own critical eye. I guess its just a matter of getting past that point and just doing it.
