Thanks so much everyone for the encouraging words, every time I hear someone say "it takes 5 years to move from the beginner stage, oh you might be professional in fifteen years" etc, I look at my work and think "shit I have to work HARDER" so having people say I'm going in the right direction is such a confidence boost.
This will probably be my last major sketchdump, simply because my gifted premium membership on dA runs out today, and I'm too bloody lazy to hand upload 5-10 pages each day. So I'll probably do snippets - one page of 5 odd rather than all 5 pages from now on.
Today was draw with my off hand day - mostly because of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z1682ZFvDo the first pics are mid drawing session with left hand - the first couple of figures are always really bad, takes a while to get my grip right and stuff, the others are fixed with my right hand. I was kind of surprised the first time I did this how bad my overhand drawing with my left hand is _ I can write sort of ok left handed, and how in the end it doesn't matter that much how shaky the lines are, the form is still kind of there.
Also, stupidly pleased with the coffee cup in the shading exercise - the first time I've drawn the damned thing and it doesn't look utterly wonky.
Please ignore terribly bad placement of female figure.. was not intentional.. I just fill a page, and don't care if the figures intersect, didn't even notice until I uploaded.. go me :/
