Let me get this straight referring to “that junk” are books by professionals that tell you about the art of drawing…mmmm… You can get free valuable techniques about drawing that are normally passed down from one scholar to another. Just like you’re taught how to read or write. And then you write your own poems etc. Of course drawing is a free form expression but you’ll be amazed at how quickly you art will be pleasing to yourself by discovering these. good luck and be more poetic in the choice of words hombre’

you don’t need books the important thing is just to get on with it. when you start you wont be an expert but as long as you practice you will get better. you will soon develop your own stile and will prefer drawing certain things than others.

Putting all that a side here are some tips to help you get started:
1. draw anything and everything whenever you’ve got a spare bit of time for example when your on the train draw the people around you.
2. try not to use a rubber too often. if you go wrong just draw another line where the first one should have gone. when you’ve finisher your eye will automatically pick out the right lines.

Just do it… draw what you know best, or copy still life objects till you are happy with them. Visit art galleries, look at other people’s sketches, but the most important thing is to practice, practice, practice!

You can always borrow suitable books at the library.. no one learns entirely alone, so keep your mind open and your pencil, charcoal or whatever medium you decide to use, moving!
Good luck.
