My plan is pretty straightforward. End game is mangaka, but on the way I will do other artist stuff as a side business because I want to change jobs and focus on art.
I tried Hampton gesture studies and don't really like gestures yet, but might do Vilppu when the time is right because I like his drawings.
I think my memory will improve by drawing minimum one portrait a day. Gradually I will draw more, but it consumes too much energy. I spend around 1 hour per portrait but feels like 5 hours of work. I think I'm progressing pretty well for self-learned, since I only started portraits a few days ago and already surpassed some DWRSB students. This was my portrait from two days ago

Ignore him. He's a sour crab, literally jealous of me. He posts this in every thread.

I know the eyes are fucked up, but I'm happy with this. I made it look 3D and finally know what Proko meant by darker is better. Darker shades simply make it look more 3D, god artists suck at teaching and getting to the point I swear.
