Social inept? Awkward mess of a person? If you really are then you'll fit right in here :) but you sound quite eloquent to me - in which case you'll still fit right in :).
If you seriously want to hone your art skills then you've done the right thing signing up here. This place is full of people studying and practicing their art skills - it is truly a great learning environment.
If you're into character art then you should do a search for Andrew Loomis books - there are electronic versions freely available in the public domain. His books contain some great teachings on proportion, anatomical structure and perspective.
I'd recommend you starting up a sketchbook and posting your studies there as well as having a browse around in other people's sketchbooks - you'll pick up some great study strategies.
Good luck with your journey - looking forward to seeing more of your work!
Haha, hopefully! I tend to get a little colorful with my wording when I sit looking at my post for almost an hour wondering if I should actually post something ^^;
Ah definitely! I've been lurking around this site for about a month or so and it seems like a good place to be :)
Actually, I have all his digital copies! they're quite good at explaining things! Although I've only gotten through a little bit of one of them so far since I can't change the color of the page. Which is bothersome at most, it just gives me headaches to look at for long periods of time since I'm almost always online.
I definitely will be! They seem like a good way to improve and definitely a good motivator! Thank you, I'll be needing it!
