# About me
(Welcome to my Bio! I'm more active on Instagram these days. My Instagram is www.instagram.com/havefundrawi… )Art had always been my least favorite class and my worst subject in my school days. I have horrible hand writing too- it's like I have little control of my hands. So I never dreamed I could draw anything.
After I'm all grown up and started working, I started making dolls (sackboys for you PS gamer peeps), and I couldn't figure out how to place the facial features to look cute. So I bought myself a "figure drawing for dummies" book. After some practices, I could draw better than stick figures with things I learned! I started taking screenshots of interesting faces I saw on TV and sketched them. I learned some pencil techniques from "Five pencil method" on youtube and improved quite a bit.
I put my pencil down for a few years after I had kids, focusing on photography, scrapbooking and oh, keep my babies alive. I recently picked it up again after stumbling upon Proko on youtube. He does such amazing job on explaining figure drawing I decided to tackle the body, in addition to faces. (Actually the reason I browsed youtube for tutorials is all of a sudden I had this idea in my head that I wanted to paint with acrylic. To complete that painting I needed to understand figure drawing and gesture drawing, not just faces.)
Hopefully I can keep it up longer than a few months this time around!
My favorite resources:
1. PROKO TV (learn the fundamentals in a fun way)- www.youtube.com/user/ProkoTV/p…
1a. This is the most amazing brief of what to learn when it comes to human figures. So I'm inserting this toward the top of the list! hippie.nu/~unicorn/tut/xhtml/#…
2. five pencil method if you want to draw realistically- Start with this playlist: www.youtube.com/playlist?list=…
3. CtrlPaint.com: It's mostly for digital artist but he covered a lot of basic concept such as line weight, composition gesture drawing and perspective that all beginners can benefit from. www.ctrlpaint.com/library/
4. Sycra: He tends to ramble on and on but he has so many useful videos and he explains things for dummies. I don't follow his video playlists from beginning to end, rather I search for my question and watch relevant video(s) he has. www.youtube.com/user/Sycra

cool story. to me art isn't really something many will make money or a living at, so if you enjoy making art then do it, if you don't, then don't. Create what you want, what inspires you, what you want to say to those who will look at your art. Art should be rewarding in itself

I read through your journal and this not just an avenue of expression but a real journey
of discovery, almost scientifically so.
You have a mature attitude in learning art. It will be Very interesting to see how you progress
and to where in subject and media.

Thank you! Yes I'm more of a logical, scientifically type, trusting more in numbers than feelings. That's why i surprise myself with the late discovery of art.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep I really believe your the logical calculating type. But I think
great artists are calculating and scientific / mathematical.
To be good you have to practice the same thing over and over, you need
commitment.
Also don't you find visual art is a great deal about space and contrast?
At least so I think.

*blush* that's too kind. I can't draw animals nearly as well as you do!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've been fascinated by and drawing animals, as long as I can remember, I started to draw humans quite late in compare, therefore no merit, I guess I should be drawing them even better... they're my comfort zone
