Welcome Artists!
Discuss, share, and create!
I'll update with more details, resources, and tips as time goes on and time is available, but here are a few general resources worth sharing-
General Sites:
Concept Art - A very helpful art community for critiques, tutorials and help
CTRL Paint - Useful tips and pointers for digital artists
Posemaniacs Flash Anatomy Poses
Quickposes
Reading Material:
Sucessful Drawing by Andrew Loomis - Andrew Loomis' Perspective Book. Teaches you basic perspective plus rendering orthographic views to perspective just like architects do. Also tackles ground planes with slopes, where objects do not follow your original leveled horizon line. Simply a classic just like the rest of his works.
How to Draw by Scott Robertson - First of the two Scott Robertson's Technical Drawing Books. He goes more indepth with more perspective techniques like drawing curved shapes in perspective and the practical use of curvilinear perspective. He also have exercises that will ingrain the concepts to you.
Vanishing Points by Jason Cheeseman Meyer - A pretty short but meaty and direct-to-the-point book about perspective. What makes this book special is it's only one of the few books (if there is any at all) that actually teach how to do hand-drawn curvilinear perspective grids. A pretty great beginning perspective book for artists.
If anyone else has websites, books, programs or tips they wish to share, I'll add it to the OP.
If anyone has any other tips, websites, or books they wish to share feel free and I'll at it to the OP.
I'm shamelessly copying sources and material from the GAF art study thread. Thanks DEATH™.

Good looking out on those links. Just got back into drawing this year. I'm a big Glen Keane fan. So my stuff is on that Disney flow. Are you going to add Youtube channels?
Here's a quick sketch I did on my surface. Still getting used to fresh paint and drawing with a stylus. It's kind of fun to learn the quirks and ticks of the software like how it simulates the smearing of oil pastels and the softness of 4h graphite.

You can't really tell it was done on computer.
I'm a hobby artist myself. I mainly do portraits, but I try to dabble in other things although they usually fail miserably.
Here are a couple of things I've done in the past:
I used to do a lot of portraits for other Gaffers in my spare time.
That’s pretty hilarious regardless. At least you and your friends have a lot of fun with your works.
Love the work Sy. Here's an Art Channel on Youtube that I follow for cartooning. Is great for art in general as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oUmV_gfAbxQ&list=PLnwHSDbcd45IC3aFVtfoqey5p1vhfoYSD
By s y Go To PostI dabble
Dabbler here too. I don't have the time anymore, but get the urge every now and then, usually as a result of working out a solution for a student. That'll fire up the motivation long enough for a few out of hours sessions with the headphones on, before life takes over again. Here's alt colourway Giannis, and home Giannis.
