Ross Duggan’s sketchbook - A novice learning how to draw

[RossDuggan]

Thanks for viewing my sketchbook :)
I have mainly created this to track my progress and to keep myself motivated.

Some background on me:
Im 14 (soon to be 15) and am trying to learn how to draw because i will be starting my art GCSE course next year.
I have always been pretty bad at drawing, but also had that natural ability to produce decent images when i want to. So i have been reading a drawing book to help me improve my skills.

All the images are taken from my phone, and have not been scanned in.

These are all the images i have done so far since i decided to improve my skills.

Looking good Ross, I particularly like the arm. Try and get hold of a scanner or at least access to one, you've done pretty well with your phone camera but scanning work in is the way forward, especially with pencil sketches.

Thanks :) I will try and get access to a scanner, i am currently drawing an ear, its almost finished so i will upload it later :)
