"Talent and all that for the most part is nothing but hogwash. Any schoolboy with a little aptitude might very well draw better than I perhaps; but what he most often lacks is the tough yearning for realization, the teeth-grinding obstinacy and saying; even though I know I'm not capable of doing it, I'm still going to do it."

Digital Painting Resources - CtrlPaint.com

I want to preface this by saying that you should not dive directly into digital art if you are new to the practice of drawing.  This is of course my own opinion, and you can take it for what it’s worth. Drawing is hard, and if you add into it the disconnect of drawing on a pen tablet and seeing your lines appear on a separate screen, you are bound for frustration.  There are workarounds though, and that is why I will recommend this website.  The owner, Matt Kohr goes into all of this.  The website is http://www.ctrlpaint.com.  Matt is himself an excellent concept artist.

He has many video tutorials on digital painting, and even goes into the fundamentals of traditional art and the practices that will help you improve.  His paid content is very reasonably priced, and the package I downloaded was well worth what I paid.  You don’t need to pay anything though, most of his tutorials are free, and I learned quite a lot from them.  I mostly bought the premium package because I wanted to give something back to someone who offered so much for free.  Check it out, even if you are not ready for, or not set up for digital art, there is plenty to learn here.  Until next time!
