- Louis11, on 07/02/2008, -2/+76. . . Life Hackery?
- SolidEnder, on 07/02/2008, -7/+57Stopped reading once I read, "This exercise is similar to the 'wax in, wax out' move in the movie 'The Karate Kid.'"
- bosssmiley, on 07/03/2008, -1/+46"Pick a really simple subject, say a rose."
Yes, because the curving layers of nested petals are sooooooo easy to get right.
Get your drawing dos-and-don't pointers from artists, not 'life hacks'. - Buddhaismybuddy, on 07/03/2008, -0/+40WTF? All I get is the title of the article and no article. Just a comment box. What the hell is going on.
- bixby1, on 07/03/2008, -1/+39"People are not as big as houses, and houses are not as big as dinosaurs." I've been saying that for years.
- lordewoks, on 07/03/2008, -0/+38How NOT to run a server like a 3-Year-Old
- midejitsu, on 07/03/2008, -0/+32Please help me, I’m doing it wrong. I’m not talking about drawing—although I am properly ***** at that—I’m talking about reading the article. When I follow the link to “lifehackery.com” all I get is the headline. I know that I must be missing something really obvious, but what? http://i31.tinypic.com/6sct93.png is what it looks like for me. I know I’m stupid, but not usually quite that thick.
- jjohnstn, on 07/03/2008, -0/+20All I can draw is sticks. I haven't yet mastered how to arrange them into "people" form.

^^^ sticks - songfire, on 07/03/2008, -0/+18Objects have details? A house is not a triangle on top of a square? Mind=Blown.
- syntrix, on 07/03/2008, -0/+15All I want to draw is stick people.
- neodorian, on 07/03/2008, -3/+18Sounds like some other more established site that's out there...
- toasterweasel, on 07/03/2008, -1/+15How and the hell did this get so many diggs?
- filmbandit, on 07/03/2008, -0/+13WTFA?
- ZimFreak, on 07/03/2008, -0/+13I have the same problem
- tradwolley, on 07/03/2008, -0/+13Actually he is getting dugg because you should wax ON, wax OFF; not in and out.
- twinklyJesus, on 07/03/2008, -0/+12Watch out Picasso! Here I come, I read a Lifehackery article!
- SyntraFTW, on 07/03/2008, -0/+11I got this too, I dunno why.
- Shamrock13, on 07/03/2008, -1/+12Wax in, Wax out.
Seriously? I didn't even click the link because I read this. - bjfewell, on 07/03/2008, -0/+10*Most* houses are bigger than *some* dinosaurs, and *some* dinosaurs are bigger than *all* people, but not every person is not on fire.
- thezanman, on 07/03/2008, -1/+11Seems to work well for xkcd...
- Mandegar0, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9Stopped reading after the website's name
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 07/03/2008, -2/+11Actually, most houses ARE bigger than dinosaurs.
- diggdat, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9On the piano all I can play is chopsticks :P
- KnightWhoSaysNi, on 07/03/2008, -0/+9The point is that it's "Wax on, wax off" not "Wax in, wax out".
- lpcustom, on 07/03/2008, -1/+9Artists are so emotional...
- inactive, on 07/03/2008, -0/+8I cant draw to save my life, it's like my hands aren't connected to my brain.
- RizzleQ, on 07/03/2008, -1/+8Yup, same here.
- webwiz1986, on 07/03/2008, -1/+8Just read Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain by Dr.Betty Edwards. Most good public librarys should have it. Now your set to begin the great adventure of drawing.
- zadadka, on 07/03/2008, -0/+7Apparently, we UNlearn stuff like being ABLE to draw in a decent manner as we grow older.
Or is it we lose the creativity as we get older...sorry, I forget now.
At the end of the day, cram as much real life as you can into your kids...they're sponges, they just soak it up ...they file it away, and, hopefully, learn better than we did. :) - inactive, on 07/03/2008, -1/+8Your an artist? Damn, I can only draw stick people.
- KingGorilla, on 07/03/2008, -3/+9It means you have no talent and suck at drawing and there's no hope in you getting any better. Well that's how I felt after clicking on the same link.
- Elixir25, on 07/03/2008, -1/+7Developers, Developers, Developers!
- diggonit, on 07/03/2008, -0/+6I like anandtechy and facebooky.
- Amadeus2490, on 07/03/2008, -4/+9Or, just watch videos like this and learn how it's done:

Very talented guy, so I thought i'd share. - thumperings, on 07/03/2008, -0/+5where is the ***** article? All I get is a login to comment.
- tradwolley, on 07/03/2008, -1/+6I have three year old twin boys. The secret is DON'T SCRIBBLE. They can turn an whole page (insert crayon color here) in under a minute.
- midejitsu, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4Thumb up? Thumb down? Why isn’t there a thumb sideways option to properly react to a comment like yours?
- diggdat, on 07/03/2008, -0/+4I had trouble getting past the draw strait and curvy lines for a hour a day...
- diggdat, on 07/03/2008, -0/+3“Are the eyeballs of that person really as big as his mouth and nose?” If the answer is no, erase those elements and draw them again."
Snort - ChristianMagic, on 07/04/2008, -0/+3Seems like the tips are good, but the author is a total pretentious douchebag.
"If following these guidelines don’t improve your drawing skills within a year, you can always dabble in naïve art. That’s art for children, by the way." - patm1987, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2#7 Don't become an engineer or enter any related fields. Everyone knows that artistic ability is inversely proportional to engineering/programming ability. Here's a hint, programmer art is not meant to be used as a compliment.
- thebrinkman, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2As with any art it's all about seeing or hearing the very image or sound you are trying to create.
- Philbert, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Over last summer my sister and family came to visit for a week. My 5 year old niece saw me using my Wacom tablet and wanted to try. So I handed it over and opened up Sketchbook Pro for her. After a brief explanation of changing brush size, picking a color, and erasing, she was drawing away with ease. Then for some reason she got tired of drawing real pictures and just started filling the screen with one color, then filling with another color, etc. lol
- Memnochxx, on 07/04/2008, -0/+2Maybe you need to communicate something but can't do so verbally.
- rootsm3, on 07/03/2008, -1/+3wtf mate?
***** off to jive-ass links - joeleslie, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Umm... Can I actually have the article plz?
- Privil3g3, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2How would you ever need to draw to save your life?
"quick - that nuclear bomb is going to detonate in 3 minutes! here's a Sharpie and a notepad - get to work"
-When terrorists get creative - choppa1890, on 07/03/2008, -0/+2Inaccurate Da Vinci had what we would call today ADD. There are lots of projects of his, that he never finished.
- Philbert, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1I saw this too and was thinking WTF? then I saw other people commenting and figured it must be there, so I clicked the link again and this time it showed up.
- Philbert, on 07/03/2008, -0/+1Depend on your paper size I think. For 18x24" paper it's pretty much required to move your whole arm. When I wasn't in school I've always just used a 8.5x11" sketch pad and just moving my wrist was fine. (aside from risking carpel tunnel issues)
