A Sketchbook Without a Name

Hello, guys!~

My name is Fabiola. I'm 17 years old. I'm an art student (this is my first year in art school) at an art school in a local community college. I made this sketchbook so I could force myself to do side studies here and there to improve.

Join me in my journey to become a better artist.

To begin with...

A quick 10-minute drapery study:

(I did an actual drapery study in class on Monday, I will post that once I get it back.)

And one of my projects so you guys can see where I stand:

Welcome and nice start. That horse looks pretty decent in terms of the lines and the rendering and tones. You have captured the form well with the rendering. Shadow looks a bit out of perspective. I guess just draw lots and lots and keep drawing from life. It really does help. Wishing you all the best for your journey.
