To save the world from the expanding Zone.
Hello Self Taught Thread. I'm teaching myself how to draw after years of telling myself I couldn't. Here's some stuff I drew in no particular order. Not bad for a total of a month and two weeks of sitting down everyday for 30 min to almost 3 hours.



I drew his gun too small so up-scaling it made it look awful.



Boss from Ghost 1.0.



A bonfire from Dark Souls 1.



A flightless pack bird from a popular series of video games.



And the Party Mix girl from a thumbnail of an electro-house mix video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW-AuPS41pM

You're lapsing into iconography.

I hope my tone isn't bad. I'm still learning a lot and by no means an expert. I'm extrapolating a lot from my own drawing and writing experience

Not at all. Ive never heard of that so Ill look it up. I can handle it, thanks for the crits. Ill post some more stuff eventually.

E: Could you elaborate on the icongraphy as Im not really sure what you mean.

I find the best way to overcome the blank canvas is to just start on something. I find once I do that then I don't stop until my lines are complete.
