So I've recently decided that it's about time I actually started drawing again. I have been intermittently but it's nowhere near enough when I do want to go into some sort of creative field eventually. Thus I have decided I want to try to fill a sketchbook a month (or at least a couple of pages a night). So far I've been doing this with the help of some DA users who's profiles are pretty much stock central (I will obviously credit them if I upload any of my work).

But what I was wondering is if anyone out there has any favourite stock artists on DA (preferably with varied galleries) because I'm finding it tedious to have to sit for a good twenty + minutes a time to find a good gallery before I can even start drawing. So any recommendations would be amazing! I'm focusing on animals mainly at the moment, but people is my next venture whenever I tire of drawing llamas.

Also as a random tacked on question, if/when you sketch, what medium do you prefer to use? I'm favouring a blue or red polychromo pencil at the moment (the lead is just the right type to show up with how i'm drawing right now) but it's not that great for scanning..hence why my gallery is still a little on the bare side.

So yeah, any help anyone has would be amazing!

Cheers and cheerio.
