Pochatok 464 Posted May 30 Share Posted May 30 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
