Well I was an absolute beginner back in June, and I've made really good progress. You just need good material to learn from (check out your local library), and a desire to get better. You can check out my sketchbook if you'd like and those of other beginners to see what kind of stuff people often start with

**laprincesse123** · July 18th, 2012, 04:36 AM

@interman I looked at your sketchbook and was amazed that you only started last june !!!!!!!!!

keep it up

**interman** · July 18th, 2012, 06:48 AM

**laprincesse123** · July 22nd, 2012, 04:23 PM

**laprincesse123** · July 24th, 2012, 08:05 AM

I would be more than grateful if anybody could give his/her opinion about my work

**Parhelion** · July 24th, 2012, 08:23 AM

Think its fine for the first time. Keep going, spend for drawing as much time as you can. Start to learn art. Get some good books or better go to art school. Good luck.

**lemdiozy** · July 24th, 2012, 08:37 AM

It doesn't look bad, it just a very beginning of an environment. Are you drawing it from life or from a reference? I think you should pay attention to the perspective of the whole picture - the angles of the houses are looking a bit not consistent.
Keep on practicing, it's definitely worth it!

**laprincesse123** · July 24th, 2012, 05:32 PM

@Parhelion thank you very much truly appreciate it

@Lemdiozy grateful for your advice

I have copied it from a reference which I will post now and I will start searching for a good perspective books .

**laprincesse123** · July 25th, 2012, 06:47 AM

**lemdiozy** · July 25th, 2012, 06:50 AM

Well, you've got another X here, but I'd seen the imgur link. You'd done even better than I thought earlier - just try to refine your contour lines.

**laprincesse123** · July 25th, 2012, 06:53 AM

well this is not what I drew that is the reference

**lemdiozy** · July 25th, 2012, 07:11 AM

Yes, I'd got it.

**laprincesse123** · July 25th, 2012, 07:15 AM

oh fine thank you very much

**interman** · July 25th, 2012, 08:08 AM

Nice job! Keep it up

**laprincesse123** · July 25th, 2012, 03:37 PM

@interman thank you

I hope I will make a good progress after a month as you did

.

Well I wont be able to post my new drawings until next Friday because as it seems my pc has a problem and doesn't want to post the pictures

I dont know I tried to upload here on concept art but its not working

waiting for your critiques

**Dahlium** · July 29th, 2012, 12:47 PM

Hey it's awesome to see a beginner in here!

Always inspiring!
The best advice I can give you is to draw from life, and photos is also working but it's not as good. Post as much as you can and HAVE FUN

**kikindaface** · July 29th, 2012, 01:06 PM

hey, and welcome on conceptart.org ! I agree with Dahlium, draw from life, everything you can, fill a whole sketchbook every week of stuff from life, also start to study anatomy( try loomis ebooks, they're great,free, and easy to find on internet ! ) , it's never too early lol, because it takes a lot of time to master the human body! i suggest you to follow a life drawing class if you can, it'll teach you a lot on improving your drawing skills and on anatomy ! Anyway, keep it up, show us that you're motivated, and if your nickname is in french, i suppose you speak french, donc depeche toi de nous montrer tes progrès !! cheers
