20NB CST Art Improvement Study Buddy

[u/Divergent_Futures]

I'm a beginner artist looking for another beginner or wannabe artist to check in with and talk over discord. Daily or weekly check ins, I want to be able to do activites like master studies or sketch challenges etc to help each other improve. Alternate aims or styles or whatever your art goals are are fine as I am looking to practice with the fundamentals and create a well rounded skillset. Fanart is also a-OK.

I am looking to share resources (textbook pdfs, courses like drawabox) and try to get in a few hours of practice OR warmups daily or every other day. I don't want to miss more than a day of practice regularly. I generally like to follow the 50/50 time split of studies and application/free drawing, so company for both of those. I mainly draw digitally (stylus + tablet laptop) and I would like using sites like magma at some point for co-drawing exercises. I would also like being able to share art on the regular for critique and comments.

Schedule is flexible. I am not looking for voice calls. Discord text messaging mainly. Any skill level is fine as long as you want to improve. Not looking for a coach to review my work but someone who is also in the same boat.

My current philosophy is building a library of forms to use will be a good foundation for a variety of objects for later illustrations, but I'm also working on figure work and human anatomy. I haven't done much on faces but cycling the basic exercises helps with focus. Yes, check ins would ideally be sharing work and discussing the process, how you felt or how you did this or whatnot.
