learning illustration from the beginning

[Triggerpigking]

Nice start. Keep up the ctrl paint lessons those really helped me in the beggining :).

them gestures you're doing look very robotic though, I can't remember how Loomis taught them but micheal hampton and vilppu taught me a lot about gesture so i'd heavily reccomend them.
i'd also reccomend the proko vids, they are based a lot on the loomis method but imo are better(never could get into loomis) and he did some really good vids on gesture as well(portraiture as well).
