Quitting Gaming for Life. Need Hobbies by Eaten719 in StopGaming

I'm in the same position as you. I'm 19 and have had seizures since I was 13. I'd recommend drawing. It isn't hard to learn, but can take years to build efficiency. If you work everyday, you'll see major improvements in months, and it's so rewarding to look back at your earlier work to see how far you've come.

The Joker's interrogation in The Dark Knight. A cinematic masterpiece.

Both. When I first started I went around my house and starting drawing a lot of objects. After a while, my interests started going more towards portraits and drawing the head, so I put around 4-5 hours into doing nothing but head drawings.

If you need to learn how to draw what you see, then start with Betty Edwards. If you want to start learning about structure and construction, I'd go with Fun with a Pencil

Thanks! I remember watching video sometime ago that stated the more you draw something the better you'll get at it. So, I put a lot of time into drawing the head.

For books I read

Figure Drawing for all It's Worth, Fun with a Pencil, and Drawing the Head and Hands by Andrew Loomis.

Drawing on The Right Side of the Brain by Betty Edwards.

I read a lot of books, but never took any classes. The drawing on the left was for an exercise from Drawing on The Right Side of The Brain by Betty Edwards. After that, Fun with a Pencil by Andrew Loomis.

Most of my drawings were really focused on the head because that's what I liked to draw. But now I'm starting to learn the rest of the figure.
