thats the only way i can explain it really , even though i never learnt, its just something thats been with me since i was really little, and never really stoped drawing
Now a days though i just do simple 5 sec skech's with ideas in my head, then move them over to photoshop
Take this image i skeched a bit ago , and cleaned it up a little bit in photoshop, try copying it (not traceing) this way you may learn how to draw from eye and hand, just keep going at it till your happy

Hope this helps you

But the best way to learn how to draw is to just draw. Draw anything anything at all. Then take some classes in drawing and then draw some more!

I like this one, Dance.
When I decide to learn something new it's only question of time.
If anybody have any more good link from their experience, I would be thankful.

where are drawing tutorials on P2L I would like to know?
I know my photoshop very well, but that doesn't have anything to do with drawing. Does it?

Get a bunch of books, practice all the time, and sign yourself up for some classes if you can find any.

If you are still looking for information on how to draw, in all of my studies, the best book I have ever seen is called "The Natural Way to Draw" by Kimon Nicolaides.
You might also like to look at my website where the focus is on how to draw people. I provide a lot of information on contour and gesture drawings, which is where you should start (so you can learn to "let your eye guide your hand".)
If you look at the site map, one of the pages that gives a good example of what I mean is the link called "A Humorous Alligator Drawing". It's under the "Drawing Art Work" navigation button. Although it's a comical page, you'll see the difference between a stiff drawing, and ones where the lines and hand move freely.
Other very relevant pages, if you are starting out are:
Drawing - Allow Your Eye to Guide Your Hand,
Contour Line Drawing,
Gesture Drawing,
and Expressive Line Art Drawings
It's all free... all you have to do is practice, practice, practice.
You'll find the info at http://www.learn-to-...xpressively.com
Hope you find something there of interest. I hope to soon add a page so that allows other artists to submit their works and art comments. I hope to see yours there some day. Good luck with your drawings!
Doug
