Hey what's good guys?
Not my colouring, mercy. I seem to be stuck in a fundamental block somewhere and it'd driving me nuts.
Anyways, in pursuit of learning how to learn the Sais and the Photoshops and mashing on the CTRL+Zs, I found this.
Good gravy, stuff like this just blows my mind, but there's a gigantic gap between steps 3 and 4 I'd like to bridge sometime.
Ech, all these gripes. Gotta GIT GUD and level up. Anyone got some criticisms or literature, let me know before I start carving troughs through my Intuos
**EDIT 23 Oct 2014**
Somewhat relevant, but if you're a cheap agorophobic hermit like me who can never seem to find a way to your local figure-drawing session, I found the next best thing. Best part is the timer is wholly arbitrary if you need to zero in on something.

NSFW, but if you wanna GIT GUD gotta draw some naked butts

And the journey continues...
Remarkable the amount of spam and one-click generated art around these parts. Nevertheless, I shall try to persist in my own way, maybe even toss support behind some of the real people where I can. After all, for me this is just a hobby, but still a craft I take with some degree of pride.
Flotsam
Boy the UI sure has changed a lot. I misclicked from those whom I follow to the DA Homepage and was greeted with a homogeneous deluge. The same pre-defined, measured quantities applied to faces and rendering held up to a uniform standard. No, they're not all the same picture, and yet, somehow, they all look the same, a mean average of aesthetics. Frankly I'd preferred the OC scribbles of yesteryear, at least that came from a place of sincerity. Style means nothing anymore. I'm not even that good, but I've never put down the pencil. I won't make any melodramatic declaration about fighting back against AI or whatever, people want their products *now* and this is what they chose; surface without foundation, skin without bones, aesthetic without meaning. I'll just do the best I can.

AR 2017 Post-Mortem
Well, that was fun. Long hours and I'm kind of sick, but a decent AA experience all the same. The new venue seems to have had problems with the attendees, I certainly hope they make things right with the consumers.
I did well enough this convention season, but it's apparent I need to step it up and do better still.

I'm in the same boat as well. I need to level up my writing, and a few more areas that are important in my life.
