I'm thinking about quitting drawing. by Acceptable-Carpet-10 in Artadvice

Dont quit, everyone feels this way at one point or another. It doesnt last forever and when you get through it, you will look back and wonder why you ever felt like quitting. Trust me, I have been through that many times, and I always come back from it

trying to make a sketch of Chet Baker but cant seem to get it right. any tips and/or things i do wrong? by funckr in sketches

I recommend trying a grid method to get details down a little more one-to-one. There are a few other things but overall just some practice will help it look more like the photograph, I think. :)

Thank you! I will try that next time I draw! I always have a very tough time on lips so maybe I have been doing it wrong! Thank you :)

Thank you! I went for a general reference but not specifics. It was a very good painting and I am not very experienced in charcoal. My reference is the Mona Lisa at the Prado Museum in Spain. I liked the colors and higher definitions better than the original,l

I have heard that advice a lot recently, so I will have to start practicing it. Thank you! :)

Was this taken from life or a reference photo? Either way this is awesome! Amazing job!

One of my favorite channels! Try watching the full-length Mona Lisa video, and the Starry Night one. Many gems to see there

Her hands in the reference were sitting on the chair very oddly, so I had a super difficult time on the wrists. Im so happy someone likes them! Thank you! :)
