@Shadami: Sometimes, programs have texture brushes.
I've had Photoshop CS6 for a while so I use that.
but other programs through apple store like those who use ipad pro
and use pro create, there are TONS of texture brushes that can help make textures in art.

I am aiming for semi-realism, and just trying to keep up with as much of my fundamentals as I can.
Value I very much lack in, but i feel doing value studies and studies in general will help me so much.

i lack.... everywhere. xD I need to get some solid practices in, hand studies, feet studies, anatomy studies, light and shadow study, fold studies. name it, i probably have a lot to improve on xD But I enjoy it, so I'm not overly stressed. also my pokemon drawings make me happy.

@Shadami: do what makes you happy.
I am like iffy on my art.

latest piece i am very happy with it, but i still need to fix a lot.
I still struggle drawing hands majorly, so that is my goal.

Though I have over 400 art videos to watch.
But i know a lot of them are super helpful.

@Shadami: Yes, they're all youtube videos.
I follow many people who make good videos for beginners and overall just advice
to fellow artists.

I'm glad there are people out there like that... I just watch drawfee. XD because their fun style is what I enjoy doing. I'm just not funny enough to make my own videos like that and I would hate to just seem like a rip off of their channel anyways. :(

Even though I fully enjoy what doing art the way they do because it challenges me. And has been building my confidence a bit. ^^

In general YouTube is just amazing. I'm just kinda rambling. I n Ed sleep

Yeah it's never good to rip off someone or be second rate of that artist.
I like so many styles, and your style is growing in the Background too.

I am easily frustrated. and have bad focus. and depression zaps my energy.
so i don't draw everyday like i hope. but maybe this year i can at least
finish a handful of projects. I save a lot of those drawinyoursyle to challenge myself.

but first hands. need to get those down.

Youtube can pretty much teach you anything.

I feel like what I like to do has already been done by someone bigger and better and so no matter what I'd be a rip off. That's what sucks.

I have the same problems. Maybe we can try to take the journey together. :)

@Shadami: Everyone has different styles.
Not one style is really the same.
You just draw how you draw. every person has different taste.

Sounds like a plan.
If you struggle with anatomy though i suggest watching proko's youtube videos.

@Mamanights: Welcome!
How are you?

I am just waking up so I'm not sure how I am yet. I'll know more when I stand up xD cause that's usually when the baby in my belly decides to react or flip or something.

@Shadami: Soon they will be coming out with an anatomy book as well.
I find Proko's way of gesture drawing is easiest for me to understand.

@MamaNights: I'm well, just working on some artwork.
