Hi, I'm ~Sword-Demon, and I'd like to check into the ER.

My case is pretty general, and for the most part, I'd like some critique. However, if any of the nurses or doctors that know how to give tips on how to use the different frames, that would be very much appreciated.

By frames, I mean the different construction lines. Some people can draw free hand, but most generally stick around certain construction lines to draw things like the face and body. You know...the whole "start with a circle..." yada yada. I can never really get past the circle.

Um...my work in general needs a lot of help, so I'll just link my most recent submission and ask for my gallery to be checked.

I look forward to any and all critique.

I sit here in my room, pounding System of a Down, Disturbed, Skillet, you name it, I've blasted it, and I find myself with no ideas.

I've even gotten deperate enough to ask my watchers for songs that inspire them a lot. Still nothing.

I want to draw, but I just don't know what to draw, and if the idea doesn't "feel" right, then I have no motivation whatsoever to draw it. I have a little bit of rough work, but besides that, I haven't been able to draw at all, and I want to draw.

I can write, but I don't want to.

I'm just so frustrated that I can't draw anything!!! I'm currently going through a lot of stress in my life and I have to let it out, but I can't draw...please help. I need ideas, ideas I can work with. Something. Anything except people (I HATE drawing people), really, at this point, I'm deperate. -small voice and beggar pose- pleeeeeeaaaase?

Hello there :3 I just found out about this place just earlier today. My question is this:

I have issues with folds in cloths, can someone show me a way I could learn it?

Here are the two newest drawings I have been working on:

A friend of mine said that the arms were too long...I thought that the elbows met at the bellybutton no matter which gender the person was.

Then I tried to check for positioning with the arm...no, I didn't have a compass on me.

Should I simply continue using stock references?

Feedback:
OK, I wasn't sure whether I needed to comment on this or send in a note, but so far, I would like to thank for the note he gave me.

However, he indirectly stated that there was a difference between stock photos and real life. I haven't understood what the difference was. Aren't photos taken from real life?

I live in Europe and I really want to attend a school abroad, in this case, it would be an Art School in Calgary, Canada. I know I need a bag of money and then I can start organizing my way to the dream, but that is not the main point. The thing is, I have physical disabilities, but not including a wheelchair, though close. My body is really weak and at the moment I am studying at home, teachers come to my house. I can`t attend public school because of all the stairs and hiatus during the lunch breaks and everything that happens in school, I can just get swooped of my feet. But is it better in college? How do people react to people like me? Can I get someone to help me through the day with carrying my stuff that you need in college [I don`t even know what] and be beside me in classes?

Maybe I can get opinions of people that are in this situation, but still attending college. Or people, who know people like me and can give advice.

And I know I can`t paint on an easel [because of my arms], can I be an exception, what will the teacher say/do about this? But still, I try to practice everyday, try to figure out how will things be in the future. Should I even try to do this major big thing in my future, or should I just drop it?

There are no schools in my country that I could attend to like a somewhat normal person, but as far as I have checked, that school has, for example, an elevator, that is a great pro in my pro`s and con`s list.

I just don`t know what to do and where to start, any help please?
