@sarahelliott489 I have the same problem. I work as a web developer during the day. I don't have much free time since I also have a baby of six months old.
Every spare moment I have goes to a creative project of some sorts I made up for myself, but it's not much, maybe a half an hour a day.
I'm following an evening class at the moment to become a graphic designer, it's difficult but I believe it's worth the effort.

@smceccarelli Jonny Duddle is so great! love his work!

@smceccarelli I actually have that book. I'll digest it and get back to this piece again I guess. Thanks for pointing it out!

@smceccarelli thanks for the reply. So far I am on the same page as you in regards to interiors. My brother who is an art major told me to just keep drawing realistic backgrounds from photos and then my ability to make backrounds more absurd will come much more natural over time. Most of my life my art has been mainly drawing characters and barely much background, so that is why I asked.

Btw, you should definitely make more youtube videos.

Im super excited for this

@mattramsey It's from 2012, so it's about 4 1/2 years old. 🙂

@El-Fractionator Hey - just a heads up - there are no images in your post 🙂

@Karim-Benyagoub Thank you!

I've tried the internet-app that came with my Samsung, and it seems to be working a lot better 🙂

@Lydia-M Awesome!!!!

More Mel. This was a great class. Loved watching him draw and explain this philosophies. Good stuff.

@Rebecca-Hirsch Thank you for the warm welcome. 😉

@Jake-Parker Thanks for your reply here, I already watched your video on this which is great...but I just wanted to say this post is hugely helpful too (speaking as someone who's also been pondering stylistic choices recently..) and I think the phrase "style is a natural outgrowth of an artist mastering their craft" is going to stick with me.

Great question!

@Kevin-Longueil Thanks.I will try the brushes you recommend.

@DanetteDraws I've been trying to whittle down the words to fit the images in my head. I have a good idea of how the pictures should be, but I can't tell the whole story with just the pictures. It's easy to cut out visual descriptions but my story is pushed by dialog.

Awesome, thanks!
