You are brave! Drapery and fabric is some of the hardest stuff to get right.

I remember when I was working on this in college, every day when I came into the studio there would be a different kind of fabric crumbled up on a table, with a very strong light pointed at it from one direction. We'd then spend quite awhile, up to an hour, trying to render the fabric in charcoal. I think this would be a pretty easy setup to replicate at home, if you wanted to give it a go.

Haaa, that is adorable. <3

Hey, welcome!

You might want to pick up some of the Loomis books, like "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth"

I guess we can't go outside anymore to borrow library books, but possibly you could get it off amazon? We've got links to some of the best loomis books on amazon in the store section. :)

You could right click and "save image as" on your photos, but we don't have a method for zipping them up. Ping my inbox (https://line-of-action.com/user/message/kim) and I'll see if I can help you personally on this one. :)

Just creating this topic as a hub for instructors to swap tips and ideas for how to help students during the time of coronavirus :) Or, even if you're not an instructor but you have a good idea, please share here! :)

Welcome to the site! :D

Have you tried out our interactive tutorial? It's a great place to get started: https://line-of-action.com/learn-to-draw

Hi Lannart!

You'll get more boxes over time, as you (hopefully) gain more control over your pencil. Just do your best to make your lightest mark in the first box, and the darkest in the last box. To start with, you just get 4 -- later, you'll get more. :)

Thank you SO much for your kind words, myshadowgengar and Gcapelle.

There is only one of me. I had a moderator who helped me with the forums and student ID approval and etc, but she has had to be absent for several months due to health issues. So it's just me. I do my best to keep up, but it's very challenging. Sometimes I receive scary threats and harassment for, apparently, being a woman who runs a site with nude imagery on it, which makes it even harder to handle. Logging into the inbox gives me heart palpatations these days. :P

Hi Polyvios,

It looks like I probably can't! https://caniuse.com/#feat=push-api It seems apple does not support this protocol. I will update the pages with some clarity on this.

Are you talking about the spam incident that occurred 2 months ago??

Sorry you two! I took a hefty break from this site because another was demanding my absolute full attention. I'm back and have some new things planned, the first of which should be coming out very shortly. :)

Unfortunately, we just have not had enough members to fund big new photoshoots, often, but I've been saving and planning.

Hi, sorry about that! It's pretty rare that we get hit with such a spam storm. This website is run by an *extremely* tiny team. I was out yesterday (Sunday) and horrified to see it all when I came back. I've deleted the spam posts and users now. Hopefully it'll be months before we see bots that intrepid again. :)

Can you say more about "it always pushes it back by an 1 and a half"?

Hey Snowrobin - try checking out our interactive tutorial for a sense of what you "should" be accomplishing in a 30 second interval (or less!)

Setting your expectations correctly and knowing what it is that you're trying to learn through those exercises should help a lot. :)
