So I'm finally working, have been for about one month now... I'm just a furniture warehouse/mover guy. It's a pretty good job with great people. I've been able to buy a tablet and it comes with Painter Essentials and Photoshop Elements which I didn't know and was such a nice surprise. So I shutdown GIMP and transitioned to Photoshop Elements and it's a great program for me and my current abilities (there is no way I am going to spend $700 CAD on this hobby that I just started up on for Photoshop CS X. $175 was almost too much, but well worth it I'm finding out)

So I'm going all gung-ho on my latest piece trying hard to get it to the style I want to be able to draw and I'm willing to take as much time as I need to figure it out and get it there. So far I've spent way more time then I can remember and all I've figured out is the head! whew...

At the moment I'm completely stuck and since I'm stuck it's been really difficult to get motivated to draw, cause the moment I sit down all I end up doing is starring at the piece and then trying to find references and tutorials to help me figure out how to draw her dress... so far no luck. I need to learn how to draw believable clothes... and draw period... very much so. However I'm pretty excited with what I've been able to accomplish so far as it is much much closer to the style I want to learn to draw.

So ya, if anyone can teach me how to draw clothes... I would be extremely grateful and might be able to finish this picture, April, sometime this year! :S
