Hi everyone. I just recently joined after hearing alot of good things about this forum, even if it may now be a shell of it's former self years ago. I've always enjoyed looking through other artists' sketchbooks and it seriously inspires and humbles me when I see how much they've progressed over time through hard work and persistence. So I thought it would be nice to also upload and document my progress over the next few years and share it with everyone.
FYI, there's gonna be alot of terrible work and shit sketches/studies. Most of it will be from reference and maybe only like 5-10% is from imagination/without reference - it'll be easy to tell them apart lol. Sometimes I'll end up with something that looks somewhat decent, and sometimes my sketches will look like I just discovered drawing a few days ago tbh - especially sketches from imagination. Anyway, it's part of the long process of learning so I'll try to not be embarrassed and post everything regardless. I will post weekly and upload everything I've done that week - except maybe all the 30s-1min gestures since there's too many.
Even though I might have bad days/weeks of not drawing or painting as much, I'll make a promise (mainly to myself) to keep uploading until I make it as a professional or start getting my first few freelance work.
So for my first post, here is what I've done during the past 2 or so weeks - it's all traditional sketches, but I'll be starting to do some digital stuff this week too.
Also, please don't hold back on giving any sort of harsh criticism or feedback whatsoever, as I'll really appreciate anything to help me improve. Feel free to point out any mistakes you see or changes you feel are needed - thanks!
