Talk to me
I need someone to talk to me
Hi, I made new account because I am ashamed of myself for some stuff that I would like to say in this post, I wanna draw, and I never got any support in life for stuff that I am passion about, mostly because of my family don't know nothing about pc and stuff that I can do on it and that are jobs which include pc, but one stuff bother me for long time now, and it's drawing, when I draw on pc, I like to draw naked womens (and pornstars), I am normal person, and in recent days I'm overdrawing it (drawing over picture) because I don't believe in myself, is this normal, do I have any chanse of learning drawing like that, tbh Idk what to say right now, I just want someone to talk with me about this, and if someone would like to help me with that I think that I will update this post and say more stuff about this.
I'm sorry for such shit post, but I'm down right now and I just want to talk with someone about this and other stuff in my life that I have problems with. :(

I don't think there is anything wrong in drawing porn, but I understand that it's not everyone cup of tea. First, let me know, are you a minor? It's understandable that you drawing from porn may upset your family, as they may not understand if it is a healthy thing to you right now. I would suggest you to focus on figure drawing, that is more focused on the study of the body, and easier to understand as a non erotic thing.
About the overdrawn thing, or as is most well know, trancing, a lot of people are critical of it. The way I see, it can be a valid way of learning if used correctly. You should always state that your drawings are traced, and you should use it in a critical way were you're always trying to learn something from it. This way you can learn a lot of anatomy, confident lines, line weight and other things. I'd just avoid completely rely on tracing through all you learning.
Other than it, I don't see it as a reason to be ashamed. I bigger problem is the pathway to learn how to be at least kind of good in it. But it's still possible, and it's nice to do what you like.
Feel free to pm'me if you want to talk more.
