There are a lot of different career paths when it comes to the arts. What is your dream art job?

I was going for slightly stylised realism, but mainly it's a colour / lighting study. Is something looking off? What feelings does it evoke? What could I do to make it look more "professional"?

I have been lucky enough to work with many artists that I admire. If you could apprentice for one artist, living or dead, who would it be?

However ,I feel that my drawings are not good enough,nor am I improving. I am seventeen and self taught thus far.Can anyone give me some pointers on what direction I should take? Thank you! @Liandro ,I'd really like your opinion on this! :)

A real-time demo from the lesson on drawing ears step-by-step.

Hello again! I watched the videos on shading in the figure drawing fundamentals course but felt a bit intimidated by all the different types of light and rules of how light works they introduced. Before trying to shade something like the egg included in one of the videos, I wanted to try something simpler to make sure I understood the concepts explained in the videos. I used a cube-shaped tissue box and a flashlight as reference and tried to replicate how the light and shadows would appear when the light was directly overhead. I chose a cube as opposed to a rounded make things more manageable for my first shading exercise. This is my first time doing a dedicated shading study so if there's anything I could do better please let me know. Thanks!
