So, I've gone through the effort of starting my very own deviant art page this month and I have to say it's been a good experience for me so far.  I have not been able to post any new work because of a lack of scanning tech at home, but that will shortly be resolved.  

It's a terrifying experience, putting up artwork.  Every artist that I know hates their own work, is never satisfied with a particular line or shading technique.  I'm no different, although I can honestly say, I am my worst critic.  Still, this type of venue is good for me.  It teaches me to just put myself out there, whether I like the work or not, and get feedback.  It has encouraged me to draw more this past month than I have in the past year.  And, I can really see some improvement in my methodology.  

Some books that have helped me over this 3 year process:

Force: Dynamic life drawing for animators
www.amazon.com/Force-Dynamic-D…

Vanishing Point: Perspective from the ground up
www.amazon.com/Vanishing-Point…

Working Methods
www.amazon.com/Working-Methods…

Those are just a few from many books I've purchased, but I'll post more as I go along.  If you know of any other books you think might be helpful, leave a comment.
