I need some tutorials on how to draw futurama characters

[on:]

Well I was trying to draw and it was coming out some what well until I finished. Then it was shit! If some of you better artists could make up some tutorials or can link to some I would appreciate it.

I don't really have anything I can do to help you. But in my opinion all you need to do is practice. Who can do you think you can draw the best? Practice that character until you think it looks better, and then start drawing the characters you think are more difficult. My drawing's used to look terrible but I would just practice all the time, and now I can draw most of them pretty good.

Get Better.
Just kidding

What is the poll for?

[Reply #3 on:]

The poll if for what characters you want a tutorial for.

[Reply #4 on:]

I think it's for what character to draw. I not sure, I didn't vote.nevermind stupid simultaneous posts

As far as the characters go, draw, draw, draw. practice, practice, practice.
As far as dealing with computer programs for creating art with, I've got a small disection of one of my pieces
in The Captain's Gallery (link in my sig).
Look for the Voices' gallery thread. he's got some good things to say.
Also look for the Kryten and FemJesse interviewed at FM:TLZ thread. Then follow the links to the interviews at Futurama Madhouse: The Leela Zone. The artists interviewed there have lots of sage advice for the budding artiste.

Heh, I couldnt get the dvds because I come from a poor family but I still have my hopes up.

You can rent them at some Video rental places.  Maybe not Blockbuster or other humongous behemoths, but check at some smaller local rental outlets.

I just got back from the libary and still none. Ill see if I could find it in that place near the movies tomorrow.

I know I've got the "How to draw Bender" as screen caps.  I'd just have to see where I put them on my Hard Drive and then post them.

I've got the Leela and Fry "How to's". I'll see what I can do to make them available...

Little story: the first Futurama drawing I made was of Leela's head. I was looking back and forth between the "How to draw Leela" frames and my 13" tv. Talk about pathetic!  I drew heads every day for weeks until I got good at it. Now I'm a little weak on the rest of her...but I'm getting there! Keep at it, and eventually you'll surprise yourself.

How to draw Fry

[Reply #14 on:]

It'll probably be best to ask for screenshots of all the drawing guides in The Framegrab Shop.
Also, I made a quick tutorial for Leela's hair, and posted some generic advice (with a focus on PC editing) here. I'm not sure how useful they are, though, if there's a particular part of a character that you find awkward to draw, I could probably sketch out a guide to it. The dvd tutorials can give you a passable character, but don't go into enough detail about the tricky bits (such as Fry's lip, that is such a pain in the ass to draw).

I really agree with that. For some reason it can takes me ages to get it right.

Listen to Zmithy, he's a higher rank than I. 

Fry's lip is rather odd. Plus his upper lip moves when he speaks. I've only drawn Fry twice, and once as a dismembered head. Don't ask.  I'm better with Leela.
