Well there are plenty of online art tutorials you can use, basically it's mostly down to practice, lots of practice.



If you want a few tips on how to draw just send me a PM and I'll try to help ya out.

Time..Patience..and Practice.

...I don't think he's looking for pointers...rather, tutorials. If anyone knows a place where the drawing style is thoroughly explained and followed-up in steps.

I am seconding this.

Try asking the artist who did that to see if they will give lessons.

Ha! I'd like to see that. Klaus has rarely been active with his older cartoon drawings- especially after his ordeal with crappy Disney. So is why you don't see any newer work (not to mention most his latest work is more adult-suited). Last I heard, he had some big changes that kept him away from his work and kept it more secretive. (but that was from one of his contacts to me- not from himself personally). You might be lucky- he might still draw some Balto work, but chances are: no.

Juts use circles and such. Shading is harder, and I still haven't gotten it down! I'll be submitting a tutorial on how I do my wolves/dogs, etc sometime soon, so you can see what I mean by circles. Are you trying to imitate Klaus' style? Or do you want to draw Balto chars like his?

imitate his style

But wouldn't that be considered theft? You might want to ask Klaus before you start using his style...but as for becoming as good as him, it just takes practice like everyone else has said.
