oh no, my sketchbook

[ohnoes]

As I've only started working with traditional art (with two art college classes) last year, and finally doing digital art since about a week ago (consistently), I'm going to be horribly sloppy.

C'mon only a week? and they already so good?!

My ultimate goal is to be a manga artist. I get some artists would scoff at that, but I don't care.

We are open minded community no one will complain about that :D

Right now I'm using CtrlPaint, Proko, Sycra, Loomis, Vilppu, Feng Zhu and some CGMA videos I have from attending classes there (of which I completely failed to do the work as I lacked skill/confidence).

Those are amazing resources great choice! Also you can't "fail" in practicing, that's why they are called practices! If you keep drawing often you will get fast progress for sure! Keep posting I'm waiting for more :D

Thanks :) My only "edge" is being comfortable using Photoshop, as I've used it for nearly a decade.

The issue I'm finding with using so many resources is that there's many different ways of teaching, and it's very difficult to focus, narrowing things down and try to build exercises or assignments to work on. Basically I'm using Proko for gestures (his work is largely influenced from Loomis/Vilppu), CtrlPaint for basic digital painting, the Loomis/Vilppu books for reference, and the others for mostly notetaking.
