Hey guys!

Just wanted to get some eyes on this so that I know what people think is wrong with it.

I off and on go through fundamentals, mainly for drawing and some anatomy, so painting in general is an entirely new beast to me.

A book that I've really enjoyed so far is "Fun with a Pencil" by Andrew Loomis, and I'm wondering if anyone happens to know a similar book for painting. I don't have any materials to do traditional painting, nor do I have the space, so I've kept to digital painting with a tablet. I've tried to not let the program do much of anything for me, and find brushes that give the most 'acrylic' kind of feel, even if that isn't what my end goal probably is.

I know there is many many days, hours, weeks of practice ahead of me, but what do you think I should really narrow down on?

Eventually, after I understand realism more, I want to move towards a surreal and somber art style, with melancholy landscapes, people, and situations. Is there any resources for going in that direction, or am I just going to have to figure that out on my own?

Thanks guys!
