Is DealDash.com a good site?

I need a Site with GOOD Drawing Lessons!?

• Does anyone know any site that can help me draw. I'm really good at drawing from looking and copying a picture but I wanna draw from my imagination but whenever I do, I suck, I can't make any good details and stuff. Also, I'm into drawing Cartoons and Anime and stuff, not 3-D Apples and shapes with TONS of Shading. I wanna draw without having to look at another picture and copy it. I would really want some intermediate lessons because I'm really good with sketching and drawing already, like I can look at like a real life item and draw it on a paper really good but I wanna draw really good cartoons/anime/manga. Any good site with good lessons would be good. Also, I don't mean cartoons like kid cartoons, I mean like manga and stuff.

Just Google with relevant search words for tons of tutorial sites, including videos on youtube, etc. You can also browse through deviantart [this also has a tutorial board] & such other sites where artists upload their work & get inspiration, ideas, etc. To spark your imagination, think of specific emotions, scenes, events, etc. that you want to show your character in/with... Once you think of that "background story/info", it will become easier to focus on what & how to go about drawing solely from imagination. Also, practice each facial feature, hand gesture, body gesture & position, etc. separately so that you have a wide range & become familiar with drawing living beings. eg. http://hubpages.com/hub/howtodrawpeople Hope these help Have fun :-)
