I love Mike's art style

I just have a couple of questions if anyone knows the answers.

I love drawing - though I draw like garbage and I love the drawing style he uses for every Penny Arcade strip

Does anyone know where to begin to sort of delve into that drawing style?

    Just a few tips to begin with though:
    1) Learn to draw from life before you begin trying to learn a style.
    2) Try to create your own style natually- if you force a style, it will just be that much harder to do
    3) Draw lots and draw often. The more you draw the faster you'll get better.
    4) listen to what people in this forum say: They know what they're talking about and are genuinly awesome people.

    Well, it happens to the best of us. You might also want to check out the FAQ when you get the chance. It comes in handy in the long run :)

    Sorry, I forgot they put the FAQ in a thread labled annoucement. I should have been clearer.
