Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
That depends what field of the arts you refer to, but as this is in the drawing and illustration category, I'll take it to be that!.

I'm sure you already know this, but: hard work!. However, There is a very important difference between intelligent study and just drawing all the time and expecting to get better!. Buy books about drawing or whatever other specialisms interest you, take a good college degree in the field you are interested in, study the books and take notes on the lectures and try to apply everything you learn to your drawings!. Always stop and think while you practice and ask yourself what the best way is to approach what you are doing!. Develop strong observational drawing skills!. Life drawing, as many people will tell you, is highly important, but you also need to study human anatomy and understand what it is that is going on under the surface of the body and why the shapes are the way they are!.

The path to commercial success is made much easier by technical and creative proficiency, but to be any more specific I would have to know exactly what field you are interested in!.

Good luck with whatever you pursue!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
