Hi

[Bytebatt]

Hi, My name is Dew.

I typically draw (pencil, digital) when I have free time out of school. I typically have drawn quite quite simple pieces but recently I’ve been trying to branch out and be a little bit more realistic.

I’m also quite a newbie at using forums, this is in fact the first thing I’ve ever posted to one.

I’m quite excited to give this a go

Welcome Dew. Don't be shy, we all had to begin somewhere. You'll find this to be a friendly and helpful forum.

Greetings! I’m a digital guy too…

Glad you found the place because here you will also find encouragement and helpful suggestions

My suggestion is to draw every day. Take ten minutes with your coffee or tea, carve that time out because it will turn out to be important, and draw something- your cup, your shoe, the napkin wadded up, the chair in the corner of the room, the way the value (relative light/dark) describes the plane change of the ceiling and walls meeting- draw.

You'll be so surprised at how soon- and how strongly- your abilities grow

Thank you very much ^^
I do actually have one question, mainly about forum etiquette; if multiple people reply to a thread that I start is it expected for me to reply back to them all or is a like enough?

Thank you very much for the advice, I never actually though about using the time I normally take to drink my coffee to also practice drawing but I think that will be really beneficial

You're welcome! I think it's a courtesy to reply to anyone who took the time to comment in your thread. Having said that, there are circumstances where a Like is fine as an acknowledgment, usually if it's in response to a follow-up comment from someone you previously replied to.

The best forum etiquette advice I can offer is that kindness and sincerity will seldom steer you wrong.

Thank you very much, I will keep that in mind moving forward.
Have a great day
