Would it be an issue for traditional artists? Because if it is I'll drop out! I wouldn't mind!

Definitely not! As long as you have some way to post an image then you're completely welcome

Edit: It doesn't have to be a good image. You could post from a 72 px nokia flip phone camera if that's what you have. The main purpose of posting a picture is to hold yourself accountable for practicing that day.

... You just had to go ahead and say it. This makes my hackles rise like you wouldn't believe it >.< I will just erase this comment from my memory. D: I'm already starting to get stressed out over this. It's basically like writing an exam every day :'( (extreme exam anxiety here.) For the love of all critter chasers... I don't know if I can do it. I need a calming tea now.

So currently for testers it's Tamaerchen, Curry, and Kiraly and hopefully one or two more and it'll probably happen at the end of April or beginning of May because of research papers and finals and all that jazz on my end. @Luth, can you not even use the chat feature? If you want to pm me with a link to whatever program works for you that would be super helpful, we might end up using it.
If this is when you want to do it, I might be able to help out as well. I'll try to make it work.


Edit: I agree with both Airedome and Rabbit and as Helia says, I think having the Gallery Thread in the Personal section would be best.

*hugs Asterales* Don't stress! The whole point of this is to have fun practicing art together. Every little bit you draw will be a win. :)

Aww, thank you Kiraly! You are right and it's high time I learn how to better deal with this. Irrational fear and all that. ;)

I'm sorry?? I really didn't mean to upset you or anything. If this is something that's going to make you super anxious it's totally okay if you don't want to do it though

Oh, no! Don't be sorry! I know that it is completely irrational and I really, really want to do this :)
How should you have known that I am such a sensitive plant when it comes to... things that could be perceived as tests when you squint at them? ::)

I can understand that... been there, done that. Try to think of it this way: It'll certainly not ruin your reputation on this forum or anything of the kind, and I'm pretty certain you won't be by far the least experienced or slowest-learning artist in our group. I won't be surprised if many of us (including yours truly) will be stressed out about other's opinions on our works even while giving tips and critique on yours. If convincing yourself that it's irrational doesn't work, remember: we're all in this together! ;)
When I think of deep psychological insight, I think of three names: Freud; Jung; Grignr.

I made a couple just now after someone requested them on tumblr, and it's SSSS related too! #swag

Anyway, they're each 20+ images long but here are the links for Emil (3/4 view) and Reynir (front). I'll probably do one for color and shading too because it's not like i have finals or anything anytime soon

I'm doing a piece right now and I'm really torn about the nose:

The right one is what I'd usually draw, but I wanted to make one that looks more like an actual nose and now I'm unsure if it fits with the rest of the face?

I tend to always misplace the eyes, even after using a ruler and flipping the image over and over. And now I've become blind to this one, feeling that they are floating up and down as I look at the picture. Are they aligned? I'd like to have them straight before I throw a lot of effort into the shading...
