Wish I could sort out a group to draw with. As in people who draw every day digitally. Theres sites around for it but all the people on them are super pros with 3-4 years experience. Hard to keep motivated drawing by yourself haha

I can feel this, I always get super motivated for a couple days then all of a sudden I need binge watch this show I just found or something. Suddenly I goes from super motivate to "I guess i should draw for a bit today."

"I guess i should draw for a bit today." Has been me for the last 3 weeks lol. I still make sure to draw each day for at least an hour. However only 50% of the time I enjoy it.

Also this is a good vid https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPY7d23fScQ

To be honest if I wanted to learn to draw like a pro id just take a year off everything and home study with online stuff. Only hard part of that is the motivation :P . Class kind of forces you to keep doing it.

Why don't you create a deviant art group for that purpose yourself? :-)

Shouldn't be too hard to gather interested people over the internet there, starting right here.

Would love to but not sure how to do that. I could make a page but whos going to click on a page with nothing lol.

Damn you, Russel! Show some leadership! :D

If it doesn't exist, do it yourself.
I thought that would be obvious.

Alternatively you could search for "beginner" and test your luck. :-)

Love your picture, you handsome you. <3

Wish you luck on your search for motivated brethren.
I keep myself away from the digital aspects of art until I got an actual foundation. :P

You mentioned in your blog a site for model life drawing.
Day 40 I think. Care to share the link directly?
It really sounds fun!


Here is my first "hand sketch" after deciding to get into drawing.
A horrible abomination featuring semi-shading, bad foreshortening and silly detailing. :D



Did not draw much since then but this thread gets me motivated. :D

Haha I think with drawing things try to block it out before you draw it. Makes getting the proportions and all that a lot easier. faster to tweak too.

Ahhh the site iiiiis : http://mjranum-stock.deviantart.com/gallery/

Its a guy on deviant art


Oh wait while I was typing that I realised what you were talking about

Thanks for the link, the site is plain awesome.
My girlfriend can use some figure drawing exercises at her current stage.
If we both do this exercise simultaneously, it will grant us a lot of fun, guaranteed. :D

As for your group, if there is no prerequisite of doing digital art exclusively, I am willing to join!
Done, one bloody rookie more!

Sweeeeet. Cheers dude. Hopefully having a member will actually fish in others haha.
