I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. However, I always sort of assumed that accurate shading and shadow planes would be some thing I would do when I wasn’t sketching, and it would be easy. So for years, I put the same shadow under the chin, regardless of the shape of the head, or Angle of the light source. I rarely put effort into actually studying the craft.  However, now that I am older, I am trying to re-dedicate myself to the fundamentals, and I feel as though my drawing is improving rapidly. However, one of the things I am having a really hard time finding, is a group of people who I can trust to give me honest, critique, and who can take critique in return. That is half the reason I am taking a Proko course. I am looking to level up my art not have people tell me that everything is fine . Most non-artists look at my work and don’t have anything critical to say. However, in order to level up, I need knowledgeable feedback. I will post a few drawings that represent the quality and progression of my work over the last year or so.
