Recently I have picked up an interest for drawing in pen. I have no experience with any techniques in drawing, so I am basically completely ignorant in art.

Today I bought a sketch pad, a few pencils, and a pack of micron pens. My main interest (as I know of) is drawing portraits. Last night I drew a couple portraits and they did not come out too bad, but I was drawing with a writing pen and on copy paper.

Well my question is what are some good drawing tutorials on the internet? I need to learn some drawing techniques and how to properly draw a portrait.

Next semester I am looking to take a Drawing 1 class at my local college. My highschool offers a general art class but they focus on all forms of art. But right now I am too impatient to wait a couple months for a college class, so what are some good guides that could help me get started?

Any personal tips from people who remember getting started would be useful as well. Thanks!
