The $100,000 Animation Drawing Course - Lesson 1

My coworker who told me about Sketchbook Pro also told me about The $100,000 Animation Drawing Course. I am not an animator but I know animators can draw (even though
John K. is saying that a lot of them don't). I've never really learned any theory about how to draw. It was more like "Here, here's a flower. Have fun." I do think there is a beauty to just sitting there with your subject and figuring out for yourself how to go about translating that onto paper. I've even thought that learning the theory on how to draw was kind of like cheating. But I got curious. What if I do learn the rules and follow them?

This is my attempt at learning how to draw. I'm going to keep working on Lesson One before I move onto Two because I don't think I have it down yet at all. (All drawings done on Sketchbook Pro using my Bamboo Fun.)
