Hello

I've been working as a colorist during a long time and now I notice that my drawing skills are way below my skills as a colorist. I tend to embellish and mend drawing errors with my coloring. I would like to learn how to draw the human figure better, animals, environments and perspective. If I have reference I can do decent drawings, but I want to be able to draw with no reference and become more confident when drawing, my pencils are not too tight and I always have to ink my work to make it look good. I hope that someone could be interested in teaching me how to become better as an artist.

I see that the images don't show.

I will post the links here. Hope it works well. Meanwhile I would like to know how to do to make the pictures available without having to click the link. BTW, sorry for my English, I'm from Spain :)

The links:

I know how to upload the images, here they are:

Well, I want to learn more perspective, environment design and anatomy, as well as dynamic gestures. I would like to find someone interested in mentoring me in all these areas or at least one of them. I wish to find someone, it's time to improve!

My strenghts: Persistence and fighting spirit, coloring (although the samples I show are not representative of my current coloring skills) and "maybe" storytelling

My weakneses: I'm too perfectionist and small improvements are hard to notice for me (when I evaluate my own art), anatomy, perspective, environments and detailed art.

Thanks to everybody :)

Gotta post in the right thread bud. Try again.

Look to the stickied thread up top that says mentor sign up sheet.

The mentor request is written in the mentor sign up sheet thread. I wish I can find someone interested. It's something important for me :)

Could someone close this post if this is not the right place for it? :)

Thanks again!
