I am open everyday to give critique but i don't follow anyone else shedule.So don't count me in.If you post daily you can count on my feedback.I will be doing some gesture drawing this week i think it would be a good place to start for you also.
Here what i suggest your do anatomy and gesture mix//master studies of anatomy and cloth//thumbnailing and refining sketch and the list goes on.
Would be also good if you could refresh your sketchbook all i can find from you are those silhouette drawing and drawing dating from 2016.
Atleast if you can't find someone to study with you can look forward to get some critic it a small motivation that is better than none.
I strongly advice journaling progress it help to be self critical because you can alway revisite what you did and tweak your subject to study next.It super easy to get feedback specially if you work only digitally.

thanks darktiste and for your advice... I been thinking about what I want out of it and whats the best course of action, as Character design is such a big subject anatomy/ clothing/ design etc..... So Im thinking of just cutting it back to bare essentials and maybe just go the clothing and accessories route which I always struggle with.
So Ive decided to go Clothing/ Armour/ Accessory and props route
Im hoping more people want to join so we can push each other.... so cmon peeps
Im also thinking of making a thread in challenges to post our work? looks pretty quiet in there atm lol

Nice i followed moderndayjame before he start teaching at brainstorm academy.So you gonna practice visual library if i follow your train of though.My advice is to create a small project where your basically your own art director.The goal is to approach something you could possibly sell to the world but it just a fake project.

No worries. I have a few pinterest boards with lots of fantasy outfits you can have a look at too if you want.
I reckon we have a couple of days for each? That way there is also a bit of leeway in case other things in life pop up.
I'm good to start when you are.
Hey hey, a fellow Kiwi ae. I hail from NZ but am currently in Australia. So I think we're only 3 hours time difference atm.
