/ic/ - Artwork/Critique

I don't post my work much here because everything I've drawn in the last 3 months is weird porn.

This pic is several months old though. Could do it a lot better now, but I think it shows what I was capable of learning on my own. I have no formal art education and only discovered art books and tutorials worth a damn through this site last month. Despite that I think this pic shows I still at least tried to tackle concepts like lighting, perspective, and composition. Not gonna claim the execution isn't decisively /beg/ but this is where trying to learn on my own got me.

I drew a lot as a kid but it was nothing special. I only started trying to draw again when I got a digital tablet 2 years ago, and even then I only really started using it in the last year. Up until recently, everything I know was learned through passive observation or mediocre guides online. If I'd known about Loomis and shit when I was trying to get back into drawing I would have started there.

I'm sure most people on this board would call me shit but I really don't care. I'm making an effort to learn now and nobody improves instantly. A lot of people on this board seem to scoff at any art that isn't a serious study or box grinding if you're a novice artist. But at the end of the day drawing is supposed to be about fun for me.
