You're in Moscow? And you say "no possibilities to become a good artist here"

Get yourself along to the galleries, and study Repin:

Moscow has an AWESOME list of cultural resources:

CG is just a toolkit - you need to know anatomy, lighting, composition and so on, and you can, and should, study those from traditional art.

Thanks, i know it, but in Moscow it is no people who can teach me this without taking money. And i hope someone here can. One hour of learning costs 50$ here, i mean if a good teacher teaches you.

Ok, I'll try to help - first, please post up some drawings in your sketchbook - not digital, but pencil or charcoal on paper - lets see some figure drawings, or portrait heads - with respect, forget about the fantasy stuff for the moment, let's concentrate on fundamental drawing skills - from observation, not imagination - let's see what you can do, and find out what can be improved.
