Draw from life!!!!
Draw everything you see around you, draw people too
draw lots and often!
bring a sketchbook around with you so you can draw when you're just standing around
learn to draw 'negative space', i.e. don't draw the object, draw stuff AROUND the object, through the object, etc like if it has holes
learn to draw what you SEE not what you THINK you see. For instance a door. You know in your head a door is rectangular, and has right angles on the corners. But if you are looking at a door, you'll see the lines are all skewed and it looks more like a trapezoid. It's a very important skill to teach your brain how to disconnect what you see and what you think you see. But once you figure out how to do it it'll just be automatic.
Draw lots!
Draw from life!
Don't try to go into anime or comic booky type stuff until you get firm foundations in real life stuff, in my opinion. If you don't know how bodies and faces and stuff are proportioned, you can't exaggerate them for anime or comic book styles. But who knows you may be able to jump into it and do it right away!
That's about all I have. Opinions will differ, your mileage may vary, all rights reserved, etc.
Edit: P.S.: And see all you gotta do to summon me is say my name 
lol!
On the "what you think you see": Try to think in 3D.
If you're hand isn't hurting, you aren't drawing enough.

Ello. I'm trying to start drawing. I get a good idea in my head but sometimes it takes a very very long time to put it on paper. I've only done one that i posted I dont know if anyone remembers the thread "Don't Chew Me Up", i couldn't find it on the boards so i can't show you. Anyways. I look at this forum section everyday. I always end up with my mouth open at some of these pieces. I've seen TA get half the population to do pieces of him, I've seen Rowrs' practicing, I've seen GillBates, Graver, Juggertha- - all great. Do you guys have any pointers or Anything to say at all about starting or drawing or concepts. Anything will help. Thanks and i'll see ya around.
