Gotta be careful about that burnout! Take care, good luck, stay safe, and stay warm.

This one took me too long! I had a lot going on and I kept starting and stopping and I think that just made it harder for me. I pushed myself to do 350 instead, but I'm not 100% confident I really improved. I see a lot of mess lines and a lot moments where I didn't plan ahead when I should have. I feel like I was lacking confidence to make clean straight lines too. I did a warm up before every each page for the day too, but I don't know. I also feel like I was really hard on myself in some of my grading.

Anyway! Here is the link to the album! I'm going to get back to work on lesson 2 now. I feel like this Box challenge wore me out and kinda sapped me creatively.

Thank you. Yeah I just need to focus more of my time into art and I'll find the right path for me, no problem. Every little bit helps!

I haven't done a lot with this sub yet, but I want to soonish, got a lot going on.

I'm 28, and I've drawn off and on since High School. I had hopes of going to college but put it off and felt frustrated for various reasons. I did some oil painting back in high school, but nothing impressive. I taught myself photoshop afterwards, and I've played with Painter and Paint Tool Sai (getting used to that at the moment). But last year I decided I needed to fully commit myself if this is what I really want to do with my life, and I started reteaching myself fundamentals and soaking in any books or courses I could.

I have been scanning in my sketchbook from this year to imgur. I haven't been drawing everyday, like I wish to, but I'm working towards that goal. I'm pretty decent at imitating other styles, but my own stuff still needs a lot of work/drawing from real life/mileage.
