@Janet Abrahams Very nice studies. Keep going

@Chris Legaspi @Subham Sharma @Janet Abrahams When I first started with Ron Lemen, he asked me how many years I had been drawing. I told him: “Ten years.” He looked at my work and said, “You’ve been doodling for ten years — not learning for ten years.” That hit me hard… but it also changed everything. So I rebuilt everything from the ground up: - Learning structure and armatures - Learning perspective for real - Drawing from life every day - Training my eye instead of relying on shortcuts - Slowing down and actually studying, not just “drawing cool stuff” And now, 1.5 years later, here is my before/after: These improvements didn’t happen because I’m “talented.” They happened because I finally stopped doodling and started learning. @Chris Legaspi advice helped a lot also as it correlates with Ron Advice as well ⭐ If you’re in this group and you’re struggling, remember this: You are NOT behind. You are NOT slow. You are simply early in the real learning process. Once you commit to fundamentals, everything starts changing. Not instantly — but steadily, noticeably, permanently. Keep going. Stay consistent. Study deliberately. And give yourself the time and the humility required to grow. If my work can transform like this — yours absolutely will too. Wishing all of you massive progress this year. Let’s get better together. 💪🎨 First three images are before the rest are after

IDK what I've been doin

A quick lesson on beauty and how to make your masses more beautiful. I've been really inspired since meeting @Takeshi Takama . I want to do more about beauty and aesthetics since it's not really talked about and I care about it so much! I hope you guys don't mind :) We will still talk about drawing and painting craft too, don't worry ✍️. I truly believe my life mission is restoring beauty in this ugly world. That will be as an artist and speaker/trainer. You guys are a big part of that obviously.
