Nick - Art School Journey

Hey there everyone! I'm Nick a beginner artist and college student from the Philippines, I've just started Art School and I hope to learn a lot from this community as well. I myself only started drawing this year, but a dream of mine is to write and illustrate my own stories, so I'm very eager to learn!

Hi so I haven't posted in a long time unlike my original hope due to life being so busy. But though I have made progress in my art, I am trying to re-practice fundamentals like gesture drawing especially because speed is something I still struggle with, as well as gesture drawing. Here are some of my attempts at 1 minute sketches. I feel like I have a long way to go but here's hoping I improve!

Welcome to the forum : )

Good work with your gesture drawing. I initally really hated gesture drawing and avoided it like the plague. I am by no means good or great at it now but I feel like I have come a long way from where I first started. I have gotten to the point now where I quite look forward to my gesture drawing sessions and find them relaxing. These are some of the videos I watched which really helped me develop my gesture drawings:

This is a long one but I think it is definitely worth it
