zombie.jpg A really lazy sketch that I just did. I just wanted to doodle something before going to sleep. It took probably 15 minutes.

 

I think I'm going to try to do atleast one painting/drawing a day. Whether it be a simple sketch or a proper painting depends on my day.

Don't lose confidence in yourself. It was only last summer that I myself realized how much I love painting/drawing and that I want to do this for a living. I wasn't particurarly good before that, but now that I've been practising a lot, I've gotten so much better. I'm just trying to say that if you really want to become better, you must practise almost daily and soon you will already see how much you've progressed.

 

You should look at a lot of other peoples art. Whenever I feel like I just don't have any ideas as to what to paint or how to paint something, I just go to places like deviantART. And looking at the stuff other people have done, never fails to inspire me or give me new ideas. Also there are really cool tutorials all over the internet that are really helpful. Painting people from photos or some stock images, is something I've also deemed very helpful. Painting from those really helps you understand how basic things like lighting works.

 

Ofcourse it might be depressing to go to deviantART and, realize there are a lot of people that are million times better than you, and that some of them are also younger than you. This happened to me a lot, but lately I've stopped getting depressed about it, and kind of been like "oh man, that guy is so awesome! Look at that painting. Better go practise myself so that I'll get that good." So I've tried use it to push myself to become better.

 

Anyway, it's obvious that you're already into a good start so don't give up now, just continue drawing/painting if that is what you want. I personally would be really excited to see how you progress and give advice and critique. Oh, and that daily theme idea sounds really great.

 

Ps. Sorry if my english sounds awkward or something. I'm from Finland and while I can speak and type pretty well, I'm really not that good at writing even a little larger posts like this.
