Hey,
Finally I found the courage to start my sketchbook here. I started digital painting/drawing like 1.5 year ago with no drawing experience at all. I'll post some stuff from the beginning till now. Ok here goes, let's have a laugh :P
First few were just screwing around, painting from imagination and reference photo's, No clue yet on setting goals and such.
From this point I wanted to learn anatomy/drawing characters.
I bought the Alienthink drawing courses and was doing those for the next months untill I finished it, all traditional. I'll post a few lessons as an example (since it's quite some I won't post them, also because it's been a while)
When I finished the course I felt confident enough to pick up digital painting again and with the stuff I learned from the course I started doing some random object studies.
From here on I started to sort of organize my studies. My future goal is being able to draw/paint characters/environments so I started to split it up. My first 'checkpoint' is learning to draw/paint the face. Splitting that up in eye studies, mouth, nose etc etc. Between those I try to do portraits from movies still at least 1 per week (only got 3-4hours a day to study cause of my work (Working as a graphic designer by the way)
This one was a quick doodle from mind, just for fun and wanted to see what I was able to do.
Between these movie still studies I break down the face in parts and paint them a 100 times as a start. So far I got 100 heads and 100 noses.
So this is where I'm at now, I hope this way of studying will pay off in the upcoming months/years. If this way is a bad way of learning I'd love to hear that and adjust my way of learning.
P.S.
Be honest, the first few faces (from the 100) we're so bad you had to laugh :P
