New here, and learning

[jdeebella]

Hi all, I am Giusy 45 yo, Italian self taught artist and new subscriber here. I am here to learn the fundamentals of drawing, because I need to understand where the lack in my drawing is. I am oriented in illustrating childrens book and editorial at the moment, but I’ve done a lot of surface pattern as well. Anyway, I’ve just take the leap and almost completed Jake Parker’s ‘’Learn how to draw Everything‘’ course this week end, I love all in this course.
Here is a sketch I have roughly draw this early morning, i suppose there are a million if errors but the fundamental shapes, forms and lines open up my mind. Thank you so
Much.

Hello and welcome, @jdeebella! I look forward to seeing more of your work. We can all help each other here.

Welcome @jdeebella !! This community is incredibly friendly and helpful. I know you're going to learn a LOT from the different courses at SVS--they've made a huge difference for all of us!

Make sure you try out the search function for the forums. There might be some really great threads and posts that could be very useful to you.

Also, please know there are two categories for making new forum posts that might be useful to you. One is the "SVS Class Work" category (all the way at the bottom of the drop down menu), where you can specifically post your homework and get feedback from others who have taken the course. As time goes on, there will be more and more people who use it, and you can more easily find examples of homework from others in the same class you are in.

The second is a category under "Artwork: Serious Critique Requested". It's for those who are looking specifically for very serious feedback. Sometimes forums like these have a tendency to be too supportive, so you don't necessarily have a realistic and legitimate response to your work. This category is for those looking for cut and dry constructive criticism.

Welcome, Giusy!! I hope you find this place to be as positive and worthwhile as so many others have!!
