this is amazing, and so gosh darn cute and sweet that I'm getting a cavity. Thank-you a million times for this :'D

lol cavity
I'm glad you like it! Paisleypug is a dear <3
I'd take her to the beach any day!

You draw pugs so well. Draw moooore

photo reference ftw!

I can't believe there was I time I didn't use photo reference lol. No wonder I never made any progress.
But thank you very much C: It was a fun and silly doodle.

Yep :) Photo reference is a handy dandy tool. Though I will admit that once you understand something as maybe you do, it's not as necessary :)

Yeah. I too am hoping to make some sort of career out of my art (though it'll probably be more 3D oriented) so improving is a little bit of a stress for me. Or.. A lottle bit of a stress.
I think my biggest issue right now is color. I have such a hard time with temperatures, values, and color relations. It's just really frustrating when you see all of these incredible artists everywhere, and you look at your own stuff and are so disappointed :( Just very discouraging.
We should be study buddies! Find areas to work on, one at a time, and critique and encourage one another. I think that'd maybe be the kick in the pants I need to get drawing again.

That's my biggest problem :/ I draw very very rarely nowadays. I just can't find inspiration or the will to sit down and start. And once I do start, I'm usually so disappointed with the outcome that I stop. And even if I don't stop, I get bored about an hour in and just quit lol. Idk why I think I can make a career out of this ugh. Why does everything have to be so stressful :P

But a concept artist is my absolute dream job. I grew up on that stuff :P I think it's why I'm an artist today.

But absolutely, study buddies sounds like a good idea. Maybe we could hook other people in to join us as well haha. I think I just need something to get me drawing more regularly. I'm not really making any progress at all lately.

Maybe sort of.. Prompts for the day? Not just like the 100 day challenge where it's like friendship, loneliness, etc.
Maybe more of a thing we should study? Like movement, light and dark, certain color palettes, etc.?
Personally, I'd like to work on environments and color relationships. My colors leave something to be desired :(

I'll see if there are any websites that have such prompts? I'm not imaginative enough to think of them myself LOL.

Hehe, that is cute!

Haha thank you very much :) I like the lines, but got a little sloppy with the coloring :S
