Thank you Farvus. My tablet is actually small ... it's a basic bamboo (I must admit I'm happy with it tho , love at first sight). Trying to draw on paper now ... my arm feels a bit odd XD ... haven't drawn on paper in a while.
By life drawing ... do you mean still life ? Because nobody can really pose for me ... nor are there such things as life drawing workshops where I live.
------
Yesterday I had a thought of looking back through my first sketchbook.
I will do it because I always wanted to see this when I started. I had thoughts of "too late" or "I didn't do this since I was little like everyone else" and so on.
This is how my first 60 seconds gesture drawings were looking (January 2014)
This is how they look now (September 2014)
The amount of work I've been putting during this time was not nearly as much as I would have wanted to nor am I personally satisfied. BUT ... the improvement is clear even to me.
So .. if you're just starting out there (I mean literally) and you feel it's extremely hard ... stay strong and try to break everything in the smallest pieces possible ! (I'm still having trouble with that)
