--Yeah. Habit forming is the most difficult during the beginning

--Guess that makes it easy for me, though. I know exactly what I'm after–drawing awesome spaceships, mostly in a realistic hard-SF style (not space fantasy like Star Wars).

--I've realized that I'm a little bit unique for know exactly what I wanted to do before I even picked up my pen. With me, it's just DOING it that's the trouble. :D

--It does kinda, you just setting out on your path to find what you like best.

--But yeah, initially the thing that got me learning more on how to draw thus far is, I want that feeling of creating the worlds that I have seen that made be like "Inspired, In awe, In love, the design" of the whole creation

--You could say I am just following the advice I have been giving from Amit so many times, which is : "Just take a path"

--I guess the artists whom I follow fall more in illustration (Loish, Rhads, Albert Bierstardt, Rossdraws, Peter Han)

--To be honest I am not really sure you know. I am just juggling different things together to see what comes out of it, ha. Possibly illustration? Like art that makes you feel like I wanna be in that world kind of way? If that make sense.

--I've realized that I'm really interested in concept art, which doesn't change the skills I need, but it does change how I think about it.
03 Jul 13:52
--Although I do want to try illustration this month, not sure what. Writing down prompts/ideas.
03 Jul 13:51
--Same. Will definitely consider it in near future when I get into composition, for now, I want to focus on the torso anatomy.
03 Jul 12:55
--Very interesting, I'm not studying composition just yet, but I'm gonna keep this in mind!

--some of them probably, most have more sopisticated value transitions though. Notans are more about the form then you can develop them further
03 Jul 12:37
--@Piotr: So Notans would be good for someone wanting to start learning values?

--https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rE5l7_eZaOY this can be helpful to understand it better

--@Nick: I find notans the best, most efficient way to sketch and it's super easy to render and get a realistic lighting. Notans force you to focus on form which is the most important aspect of drawing, it helps you improve tremendously
