Hi, i’m here to practice drawing =]
I want to learn how to draw so i’m doing some exercises, i wasn’t able to draw a cube in perspective until some days ago, i’m very motivated with the progress.
This is the result of 2 and a half hours using art rage, it’s my best drawing so far (and the last). Isn’t great but it’s an advance.
I have to draw some boring stuff like chairs and tables but soon i’ll post new sketches.
Thank you for your time.
Hi, welcome!
This one looks really sweet 
I like it!
Hope to see your works and progress in this thread 
Have fun!
Hi and welcome to you! You have a nice sketch there. I like how you did the fur. I know drawing chairs and tables is pretty boring but it will help so much technically. I’m looking forward do more of your sketches.
ManoVelho,
Welcome! Very nice first sketch, it has a nice natural and loose feel which is really pleasant. I hope to see more of your work here, and I hope that you will participate in our many Workshops - to be notified of when new Workshops begin, I recommend subscribing to this thread:

Take a look around the forums and other peoples’ sketchbooks, there’s a lot of great work going on.
Cheers,

Hi there!
Nice drawing, you definetly show potential skill! I’m also drawing some boring stuff right now…but it should all pay off in the future so it’s worth it!!
Woa it’s nice to see such a friendly reception, thanks =]
BapKe: Thanks, i had a lot of fun today (little too much… my finger hurts!)
Rebeccak: Thanks! I’ll keep an eye on the workshops and will be glad to join =]
Roja: I’m sure it will pay off, as i said earlier, until some days ago i wasn’t even able to draw a cube in perspective! Thanks for your kind words =]
Samanthie: I was trying to draw some furniture today but my table is fixed in the wall so i had to keep turning my head, it was WORST than boring! I gave up and just grabbed this statue as a “model” (yeah laaaazy)
Hi Andre, well I must say this is alot less boring than a table.lol You have a wonderful shading style, so rich. Keep working and posting your images.
Hey ManoVelho
The monkey reminds me of… meh 
Great drawing
Hoping to see much more work here soon!
Thanks for your comments, i’m still learning the very basics but until some days ago i was incapable of any kind of drawing, a block or something like it, so it’s pretty nice to finally be able to follow some exercises and see the progress.
I was planning to post a sketch every day (a way to force myself to draw) but i had alot of trouble with a perspective study today =/
I have this thing on my table for a long time but never REALLY looked at it, i had to draw a cilindric object and i saw it, here starts my nightmare…
The thing have crazy forms engraved in the base, nothing that i can recognise at least. As it’s just a perspective study i gave up when i reached the main perspective shape but i’ll come back and draw just the base in the future.
I was really eager to draw an anatomy study today so at first drawing the perspective study small seemed a good idea… soon after i found out that it was harder to put datail with less pixels, turned to be more time consuming (DUH!) =[
Hope to be able to post something nicer tomorrow.
And here is the damn thing if someone is curious.
Hey it’s great that you start with the basics first.
Perspective studies are really important and a lot of digital artists avoid them because they think they are boring… but it can be quite challenging sometimes.
I had to do them for many weeks at school and I did all of the assignments with the greatest enthousiasm. It’s easy when you realize the importance…
One thing I might suggest is not to spend too long trying to get the details right. If you can choose between 2 perspective exercises that are only medium to low detailed, rather than just one detailed exercise, I would choose the first option 
why not do a couple of perspective exercises without shading them?
draw a couple of objects around you in the room
then do one of the room you are in (you’ll be in for a surprize)
I think the chandelier turned out great btw…
Hi Andre, You are doing nicely with your sketches. Try what Johan suggests and see if that will help you. I enjoy looking at your sketches so please keep posting!
I was hoping to finish it but i feel that i’ll procrastinate it so i’m calling it finished.
My first anatomy study, it’s based on photo reference, i experimented new aproaches but i feel too green to acomplish what i was planning (full scene with cloth etc). I’ll stick to more simple exercises for now. (just perspective studys without shading)
I was about to start working on the head but i think that the torso is ok.
CC always welcome.

hey you’re doing a really good job for just starting out! Don’t even bother with drawing things that bore you, but if you want to learn and practice just find things that you would enjoy drawing, whatever it may be. If you don’t enjoy it, it’s much harder to do.
Roja: Yep, i’m trying to do my perspective exercises but it’s hard to keep the focus, i already grabbed another statue to use as a model =]
I was a little frustrated with the blending tools in artrage so i’m giving Painter a try.
Just messing with the blenders.
Su: thanks, i’m kinda lost because shading using the blenders is pretty distinct from the workflow i was using in artrage (apart from my lack of skill) =]
I’m just fooling around in painter to familiarize myself, tryed some of the new tools to color the naked guy. (i’ll not spend time coloring yet, i’ll stick to grayscale sketches)
I’m trying to figure out a nice workflow to use in painter but tomorrow i’ll try to sketch new stuff, thanks for your tips =]
After dealing with alot of frustration i’m practicing again. Hope this time i can keep the regular exercices.
I really enjoy zombies and this zombie girl was alot of fun to draw, hope the image isn’t offensive. Still the old lame flat looking garbage but i’ll try hard to improve. Photo reference used for most of the pose.
