How to start?

 Just do what you intended to do anyway—draw your idea! 

You don’t need to make it 100% finished, if it takes too long. You can also use some older drawing with a cool idea and poor rendering that you’d like to give another chance to.

This is an old drawing of mine. Let’s pretend I’ve just drawn it. I wanted to draw a half-wolf, half-horse—a were-horse of a sort.

I was really curious what it would look like, and it gave me the inspiration to draw.

It’s not a bad drawing

, not entirely. It shows the idea, it has roughly correct anatomy. But it doesn’t matter what it looks like—what matters is what it was supposed to look like in my mind.

Look at your drawing. 


Do you like it? Could it be better? Let’s find out. Make a list of what you like and you don’t about your drawing. Be very thorough and even harsh, if need be. Don’t pretend to not see the mistakes you’re ashamed of—that won’t do you any good.
