The Sketchbook Ant

[LadyAnt]

Hey :) I'm Elizabeth and I'm 20. I've been drawing since I was young, but I'm still not very good. I blame this on the fact that I never really made the effort to improve until my senior high school years. My current goal is to hopefully break away from the anime style I learned to draw from and improve on my anatomy. I'm a little nervous posting here, I've looked around and there are so many amazing artists ^^;

This is fairly old, I drew it about 4 years ago.

This is my most recent. It's a practice with colour, since I'm not too good with that stuff.

nice start for your sketchbook :) if you dont already you should get your hands on some Loomis/Bridgemen books there some free PDF ones you can find on the net. Also draw and paint from life and dont be afraid to study your favorite artists.
have a good one

I'll look for them =) thanks for the advice! I draw from life occasionally, but I should make a point to do it more often, it's good for getting a feel for natural looking poses, which is also something I find I struggle with.

Some more old stuff. There's something off about that snake girl's anatomy but I'm not sure what it is :/
