well, I'm working on a very time consuming group pic right now that I should be done with within the week...

I always wondered why it takes many artists about 2 hours to finished an amazing and complicated piece when it takes me 2 days to finish a mediocre one... and I realized something, something very apparent while working on this pic... I'm still just learning how to draw... and I'm teaching myself while actually drawing... these people have had loads of practice and perfected their art, that's why they're so fast... they already know what they're doing... I come up with a pose then struggle to try to achieve my vision...

well.. with this pic alone, I've improved a lot.. but I didn't do it alone... I have the many skilled artists on DA who created excellent tutorials to thank for a lot that I've learned... those tutorials sure do come in handy...

but it's really hard to find helpful tutorials amidst the plethora of useless ones. not that they're not good tutorials, they just weren't what I was looking for... a lot of anthro stuff makes it difficult to find normal leg, arm, and other body part tutorials...

but to make things easier for any other beginners, I've collected all the tutorials or practice sketches of other artists that I found helpful.
