Hiya all,
I've doodled off and on for a number of years, and for the last several months I've been really wanting to improve my artistic skills. I've got a number of books that I've picked up, including Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, a couple books by Burne Hogarth, and a book by Jack Hamm.
One of my big failings is not sticking with it. This time, however, I do really want to commit. If I can get to the point where I can start to see progress in my work, I know it'll make it easier to stick with it. So, I need to get to that point.
What I'm hopefully looking to find is a few helpful hints in where I can start myself out at. Is there any best spot to start? Or just start drawing what I see and go from there.
Looking at the before and after drawings from the Betty Edwards book, I was very impressed with the progress made in just a few months. I'm planning to go through the exercises in the book, and hopefully be able to see some improvement there.
Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner yet, so I don't have a way to show off where my skills are at now. I plan to pick one up soon though.
I think one of the problems I've had in the past is that I haven't had (haven't sought) the support and encouragement to keep me going. When struggling through something, having someone there to say "Keep it up, you're doing good" really helps. And being around so much great and creative work, I can't help but be inspired.
Lots of rambling there. Anyway, at this point, what I'm really looking for is any advice on exercises to help me get started on letting my inner artist flourish. He's languished for far too long.
