My Sketchbook and Progress Log

[noselves]

Hello all, my name is Joshua and this will be my thread for my sketchbook and journey using the NMA curriculum. I will document my emotions and thoughts going through the programs/classes. A little bit about me, I’m 23 years old and have been registered on NMA for about 2 years, I’ve done some of the courses but want to use this thread to become more organized. I’m in the military and I’m in the United States near Delaware, my other hobbies include meditation, reading, writing, and working out.

Courses I’ve completed
-Fundamentals of Observational Drawing
-Linear Perspective Master Course
-Perspective for Beginners
-Sketching Perspective
-Finding Your Voice As an Artist
-Anatomy Master Class (Term 1)

Courses I’m attending now
-Fundamentals of Observational Drawing (live class)
-Beginner’s Guide to Drawing
