I have done basics and purchased some control paint videos before never watched them though. I have done alot of pencil studies nothing recently though. Here is some of my traditional stuff its on this thread its a bit old though http://www.gameartisans.org/forums/threa...Sketchbook
I realized why I felt discouraged. For one thing my wacom wasn't working properly or rather I had to delete all the registry from installing wacom drivers over the years. I also realized my strokes aren't as good as they could be, the reason being is I'm a lefty. When I work traditionally in pencil I smear the crap out of my work on the side of my palm. So I need to buy one of those smudge guards because when it comes to long strokes on my intuous the side of my pinky messes up my line. I started fun with a pencil drawings as well just haven't posted them yet. I am going to actually retry that soon. I have some michael hampton books I had bought and never used and book on perspective so just trying to attack all my weaknesses and become a better artist. All this digital painting has me wanting to try other mediums like traditional painting on canvas.
Thank you both for the comments.
