This is amazing, I wish I had found this subreddit sooner!! Thank you so much for putting all of this together!! I'm 19 and have been drawing since I can remember. I love to draw and paint and all, but unfortunately i'm not good at it. Besides the art classes i had to take in elementary school, i've never taken a formal class. I've always wanted to, but i've never found the time to do it. I'm kind of at a crossroad in my life right now. My dreams kind of fell through and I spent so much time and energy focusing on my previous goal that i wasn't able to do the things that I really wanted to. Now's my chance! My aspirations are pretty simple. I love to draw and paint, but I need to improve my techniques (read: actually learn the techniques). All I want is for the paper to actually resemble the picture I have in my mind. I mostly do crappy fanart and imitation stuff. I haven't really found my own style yet. :/ And i stumbled across this sub because I was looking for ideas on what to do with the 36"x48" canvas that i've had sitting in my room for two months. Now I guess i'm gonna push that off for a bit! I'm super excited to start going through the lessons!
