Hey there /ic/ I've decided to get back into drawing after 5 years during which I got some STEM degrees and had no time to sleep let alone do artwork. I've decided to just jump into it again by focusing on figures and portraits first since I'm shit and rusty. Been using quickposes, or my fiance when she's willing, for references and have determined to do daily drawings of at least 100 days under the risk of shilling out $200 if I miss a day to stay incentivized. Eventually I intend to teach myself 3d modelling with the same method once I'm done with this. So I wanted to know /ic/'s opinions on my method and whether I should just start on the loomis meme instead of jumping into practice since I'm not entirely a beginner. Also what are some good sites to post stuff to get criticism, I've just recently found out about how shitty and complacent alot of online artist wannabes are and want a place where my work will be ripped to shreds, not stagnate in a self-satisfied community.
Also how many of you went to an art school, sounds like they're shit and want to know if there's anything unique since I intended to double major in fine art and astrophysics before just going to a cheaper STEM school and going for Astrophys. and math.

Study on what you think you need to work and then practice, try to not avoid the things you find hard to draw. Study them, practice until you find it's good and then move on to other thing you find hard to draw. At least that's my method.
Now to the critic sites... I'm not too sure. Sometimes you bump into good artists here, so I wouldn't give up entirely this site.
Also taking classes always help, sometimes they can teach you things you haven't even question about... And sometimes not. But I would give it a try.
