Proxee Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Impressive, NesteaDrinker! I hope to get back into drawing and maybe make it a career so your diary is cool to read! :) 1
Pochatok Posted May 30, 2022 Posted May 30, 2022 Hey! Saw you're working to improve your drawing skills, and just wanted to recommend a community to join- learning is always faster/better when together! Look up "ArtProf", they have weekly streams and an amazing discord community. Also, Ethan Becker's discord channel is also highly active (though much more industry-oriented...). Cheers! 1
