Thank you for the advice, I appreciate all of it! I am strong in painting detail and recgonizing how space works, but I guess my struggles are with the foundations. It's funny, I've been drawing all my life but I've been practicing a lot of bad habbits and never formally learned art since I'm self taught. Recently, college has taught me how to shrapen my skills.

Let's face it, growth requires pain to push ahead. The long hours studying between regular gestural drawings can be draining, but it proves to be well worth it in the long run. I am new to this website and I'm trying to improve my skills as an artist. Hello, everyone!
