Ram gets serious!

Ramucho

Well, after many useless months of trying to enhence my artistic skills I came to a point where I should really try something new.
This morning I read poop's quality practice paper and it boosted me to try new learning paths.
That's why I bought some books(hogarth's ones), drawing papers, sketching pencils and virtual pose 3 (a very neat product!).
But now my problem is that I don't know where or how to start 'cuz I've never attempted any sort of serious drawing class and I don't have the money to afford one. That's why I need some advices to get me started.
Hope you'll be of a great help!
See ya!!

You could start with doing some still life drawings. Maybe set up a table with a bowl of fruit, something made of glass, and cloth. Also, you can experiment with the lighting in the scene. Then, do a few warm up sketches, then a final sketch and if your using a painting program, you could paint the scene with color.

you could use that along with the virtual pose program. It also helps to have a ton of mental and physical reference about the subject you're painting. And if you can't get to a figure drawing class, maybe draw people in your sketchbook in a big public place, like a nude beach.
