What's higher than the top, that's me
Come take a look before falling at my feet
'Cause that's the only drop they'll be
So take a look, better recognize a queen


So since I did massage therapy classes i haven't been able to draw. I use to be good (not like omg so amazing good but good ) but i stopped drawing when i took massage classes cus i had to know so much information i couldn't do something like drawing on the side. And each time since i got out of the program i tried drawing and i hated it like burn the sketch book hate it (not that i did but it's how i felt). SO yesterday started to watching some one on youtube i use to watch daily until i took massage class. Now that i been watching him i want to get back into it again. And what also impressed me is i took art classes that said you need a visual library of poses and all that and the homework would be go to a cafe or park and watch people. Well wth covid i really couldn't do that. But the person fallow on youtube talked of a pose site he goes to uses a timer they have there and does quick sketches that way. So i'm sitting here about to put music on with a sketchbook a soda a pencil and about to try this pose thing. Hope i can get back into drawing i been wanting to draw my DnD character but any time i try it's back to the urge to burn.

@Kent: He uses https://quickposes.com/en
but there is a section called Timed practice and it shoots random poses at you to kind of do rough sketches that's what i'm going to be doing to just get some ideas but they do have where you can search

Starting is always the hardest part.
I wish you best of luck in your endeavors.
and try not to get too discouraged if something does not turn out how you want it.
Art just takes... a lot of practice and repetition.

@MoodyB: I started a picture looked really good for a rought sketch then i started to do a face and nope... it looked like a child did it which was wrong cus it was a sexy pose and then child like face... i think I'll stick with doing some rought sketches before i roll into the faces just yet i think that was a little to soon

@Kittyzilla: Art is usually just about shapes.
so some shapes make the face look younger.

im not very good at faces myself or anatomy in general lol but i started painting a study today
and it's slowly getting out of the ugly stage.
just a lot of practice and try not having too high of standards when your coming back into art
as that tends to add too much pressure to oneself.
