Wanted to practice a bunch of things I'm terrible at and push beyond some limits. Little bit proud of it looking through the progress, so I thought I'd share. Definitely still seeing lots of room for improvement tho (especially anatomy studies).[/QUOTE]
lol I clicked End result first expecting it to be SFW
Anyway there's potential but yes lots of room to improve. The eyes are very very flat and make it look like a robot or toy or something. The neck is too long, the head looks spherical and is too big. the pit of her neck is very wide and it looks like her neck would be really thick and weird looking if you hadn't concealed it with the hair. The 100% head on view you've chosen leads me to believe you would struggle with any other given viewpoint - maybe I'm wrong but I suspect that's a limit you should try to push through before you spend ages rendering characters. the hair is way over-rendered. The breasts are gratuitously over-modelled and lit - why that point light source on them which doesn't appear through the rest of the picture (and wouldn't appear there anyway unless the skin was wet)?
well I know the answer but I can still object lol

My first real piece done in SAI- scanned from a pencil+ink sketch I did a month ago.
I know the proportions are off a bit on the forearms and so on, but I'm still working on improving my digital art skills.

Did something different for a change other than Porings. (Still from the same game though)
I have a fairly great bud out of New Jersey who does his own Lovecraftian type horror sketchs on his freetime.
This isn't exactly my artwork as you'd imagine, but I feel he really needs to get some more exposure outside of a few gaming groups I have been showing him around in.

Most old school Victorian era stuff was done with wood engraving also, which is seriously just a whole 'nother ball game when it comes to the level of complexity. I can only do nothing but admire for those which had the patience and time to go onto the frontiers of new lands, and spend their days recording the bird sightings they saw, and transferring them onto heartwood.
For example, the book "[URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_History_of_British_Birds"]A History of British Birds[/URL]" was done entirely with wood engraving:

I have already mentioned this to several people, but I plan on eventually cataloging every species and subspecies of trout and salmon in North America in a similar method, and then publishing my findings as not only a book for the study of the species, but also for fishermen to use as a guide on where to find these species and possibly make it a sport of catching and getting pictures of each one for the sense of adventure.
It may sound like a silly goal, but when you begin to understand that places like California have something like 100 species/subspecies of trout alone, it's a really worthwhile and fun adventure.

This actually reminded me a lot of "Public and Private Life of Animals", by J. Thomson.

The similarities of animal drawing could be really a cultural aspect that led to a rising anthropomorphism in europe by the XIX century. [URL="https://archive.org/details/publicprivatelif00stahrich"]This is the whole book[/URL], if anyone is interested in.
I've been caught in a rut where I haven't been drawing for a while which sucks. Haven't even doodled in a while.

Any good resources for getting started with digital painting? I've done actual painting on occasion (acrylic, if that matters) but I don't know where to start when doing it digitally. I'd probably be using Photoshop to paint.

Hey, some advice considering that you don't have easy internet access besides the public library. I would recommend buying an anatomy book and doing some studies, doing that has definitely helped me, outside of my figure drawing class at uni. I know anatomy books are expensive, though, so I have a specific book that I'd like to recommend buying! I paid 20$ for it at my college bookstore but after a quick online search I saw that you can buy it from Walmart for 13$! The great thing about this book is that it's a coloring book, but, more importantly, it's not just a coloring book, it's got great explanation and a large amount of information on anatomy, and the illustrations are extraordinarily accurate and well-done.

Really, I just suggest doing a lot of anatomical studies, they really help your understanding of the body and will hep you to improve how you draw people. Also, considering that you just guessed on a lot of it you did a pretty good job with the anatomy!
[QUOTE=Eric95;47028879]i dunno i got good at like all music stuff pretty much instantly with barely any work at all. didn't apply to drawing though
also if you believe you're naturally good at something you'll work harder to live up to it[/QUOTE]
I just saw this and I thought I'd rekindle the discussion.
I find that I'm surprisingly good at some things with little [I]apparent[/I] practice too. Improvising emotive songs on the piano is one of them. But I realised that, given my huge tolerance for waiting/boredom, I've got a bunch of things I do almost subconsciously to keep my brain busy. Things like mentally reworking songs into different styles (taking a random classical song that I've heard and mentally humming it in a swing rhythm), or tapping out drum patterns or whatever.
Sometimes things we don't even think of as 'practice' can look like 'talent'. They're never a complete substitute for real practice, but they do become inherent and unexpected strengths

I like to think it's helped my drawing improve a little bit.

is available at WHSmiths for £15
and here are some more drawings i did using some of the instructions from the book.
any C&C is helpful
