What a really cool idea! I don't hang out with many people in my area who are learning to draw but I think I'm going to try this out myself if I go to a nearby park.

Good afternoon, I've been experiencing this bug for a few days now. I use Firefox and use the Basic Shapes & Still Life practice with sessions of all the same length at 30 secs. When I press the escape button, the modal that says "Are you sure you want to exit?" shows up properly, but clicking yes does nothing.

Thank you for providing a direction to move forward with. I'll try with the excercisese you recommended, thank you!

Hello! I've been practicing drawing faces/heads for the past 3 weeks and would like some feedback on what areas I can focus on. I do a 30 minute class session daily focused on expressions. Attached are some of my most recent drawings sorted from least to most recent. Thank you very much!

That's fair! I also stopped drawing for a year because I was sick of not feeling good about my art. I wish you the best of luck with your endeavors as well!

I guess I never really thought of it that deeply before.

I don't want to be a portrait artist, but I do like to draw comics and I want to get better at expressing the exact emotion from a character. An impactful scene won't feel impactful if I don't convey what the character is feeling adequetly. I don't personally care for if people see it/react to my art or not as I'm trying to move forward feeling fulfilled with what I do. It's nice if I get a compliment but it's not what I'm walking towards if that makes sense. The project I have in the backburner is a pretty long personal comic, but being an artist isn't my job.

I'm practicing on this website because it's one of the few sites that I like the UI and there's a whole host of reference images. My personal art goal is to get better at drawing the head, the anatomy of it and to better convey emotions.
