Found this Video on gesture drawing:

Which is really helpful. You can watch it with the sound off, and it will still help. *I'm not very good at it, but it definitely improved my drawing.

The character in this belongs to:

Kingsley. Drew him as part of an art trade for a picture of my chaos crow. =)

Studying Others

Since we knew relatively nothing about this topic, were strongly interested in improving both our art and how we presented ourselves, we picked three artists that we found and liked the product of in our first few months on deviantart to observe, see if we could mimic or learn from, and think about how a person would go about promoting.
The three we liked were:
Each of the three was at a slightly different stage of development and account age and doing slightly different kinds of art. 
We picked them cause we liked their art, mostly, and then tried to think both about how you would promote them and also how to draw like them.

 We eventually picked out or found other artists that we greatly admired the art of and studied them more too.




Home work: Find your popular three artists that you are watching/tracking for art growth. Identify their niche. Give it a slogan. Identify their market base and what appears to be their approach for advertising.

https://www.deviantart.com/axlreigns One of the above chracters. ----------------------  Popular pins gleanings Some are pretty clear.  Glancing at a few of them, they are stunning in terms of art and composition and use of color.  People click on pretty things, striking things.  Studying composition of images doubles up for driving clicks and numbers. HomeWork:  Go look at pins from myself or small artists that I like, and compare them to ones that are doing well. Write down differences.
