learn to draw

I stydy drawing once a week. I go to the short thematic courses with the small group of 5-7 people at jaroom.ru – the personal training courses by Jaroslava Klepikova. Now it’s the face drawing lessons. Jara is really cool teacher. She is young and funny, and she has an academic education. Becides, she is a professional artist with the background of the illustrator.

This is me with my oil-painting drawen at the studio.

Now I draw almost every day in subway while going to the work. I have about 10 minutes in the train for it. Usually I draw 1-5 small sketches, and that’s really GREAT! Sometimes I draw 1 image going to work and back home – on my iPad using Paper app or doodle.ly or art rage (rare), but usually it’s only small A6 sketchbook and liner or mechanic pensil.

This is me and my oil-painting, who could believe!

I draw in subway and while waiting, but I have no time to draw long… Is it really bad for the skill?

Do you know some great tutorials in web or something else helpful?

What do you think of my sketches?
I know, they are not perfect, but I’m trying. :) I need some critics and maybe a little support either)

Now I study drawing 1 time a weak, half a day I spent actually drawing! And that’s amazing!

The other way to get some more practice.
But the real problem is – to find the time…
