Dina Merali - Art School Journey

Hi! I just joined ART School today and I'm really excited to start! I've been drawing as long as I can remember, and I started doing digital art in 2015. I am completely self-taught when it comes to art and illustration. I really, really want to make a career out of art in the future though so I decided to finally seek some courses to kickstart myself. Here is something I made in late June, just to have something to show for my current art skills then compare it to whatever I'll have at the end.

Yesterday I did the line of action/cone exercises and today I started on proportion exercises. I have a wacom mini tablet, so I don't look at my hand as I draw digitally, I look at the screen. Does it mess with some people? Because without the grid, my proportion drawings came out worse digitally than they did when I tried the same gridless exercise with pencil on paper.

I've been trying to take it easy due to suffering from some arm pain recently but I still managed to get some gesture drawings in. All are drawn in 30 seconds.

First time doing one-point perspective, super excited to learn something new

Thank you! I think I will add some

modern minecraft house says hello!

Lots of fun with this! The text I took from a copypasta someone sent over to me that made me laugh lol. Chose Doja Cat for the cover cuz I was listening to her music as I worked.

So much has happened! I got sick with covid, family got sick with covid, I had to move countries, and start a job!! I'm so glad I can finally get back to Art School stay safe everyone

Spending a lot of time practicing heads, and started doing a little bit of practicing folds!
