On the off chance that anyone here plays Mortal Kombat X and wants some Scorpion tech I made a video you might find helpful.
These are all simple combos but I'm working on a more advanced followup video.

I am now that I lookt it up

My mom has seen every episode of Burn Notice at least twice, so I've been getting plenty of older Bruce Campbell via osmosis. Super psyched to see him going back to Ash

I started trying to learn to draw again like 3 months ago.

Any of you who went to art school, what did they teach you that was most important? Be it areas of study, habits to develop, etc.

Right now I'm trying to get into the habit of daily drawing again. I try to do gesture and/or figure drawings a few times a week.

This channel is pretty good:

Drawing from imagination seems much harder than it used to be but I could be misremembering.

gesture drawing makes a really marked difference
some irl artist friends recommended pixelovely
http://artists.pixelovely.com/practice-tools/figure-drawing/

even just like a ten minute session of 30-120 second drawings daily

I was told not to rest my arm while drawing, because with gesture drawing the idea is to be fast and loose. that helped.

The Loomis ones are classix, but it's not like figures or hands have changed

Also, my college-degree art ex-roommate who never actually did any art could (1) spit out the most amazing works in like five minutes to a day and (2) only gave me one piece of real advice a teacher gave him: make it look finished, THEN make it look good. He would always focus on the details on what he was painting, but the teacher told him to paint a shitty background or flat one-color for the rest of the body and it really looked so much better, and it was easier to motivate himself to finish it, (plus if he ran out of time he could turn it in as-is)

This was a lesson that didn't particularly help me since I was already a certified spam artist, but maybe it'll help ye

Ah yes I've actually been using pixelovely, they got hacked a week ago and were down a few days, i was scared it wouldn't get fixed at first! I have a daily drawing habit now but need to be doing gesture daily instead of like 2 or three times a week. Also loomis is definately great, especially for drawing heads. The advice your freind gave you though is interesting, I'll have to keep it in mind. I don't do too many "finished" drawings yet, mostly just sketches.

I won a moleskine book in a contest and I've just been writing things down in it that are cool that I like or ideas or shit that inspires me and it's neat, you can make little doodles and shit in it too. The paper quality feels amazing.

After talking to him more, that teacher was a professional concept artist for years and he had to get things painted in an hour, two hours tops. He'd do the whole thing to look done if not detailed, then keep adding to it until they came back and asked for the finished thing, then after they were done he could do the finishing touches. Maybe not the best advice for anyone who wasn't in that particular niche

[7/4/15, 4:08:13 PM] Dork: I got that advice from a teacher, but I also got it from a series of online tutorials
[7/4/15, 4:08:21 PM] Dork: this guy who had been in the professional concept artwork business for years said
[7/4/15, 4:08:27 PM] Dork: you gotta have the concept down in an hour, or two tops
[7/4/15, 4:08:43 PM] Dork: if your Art Director walks in and says, we need that right now, it better atleast be a whole concept
[7/4/15, 4:08:48 PM] Dork: because you can always keep adding details later
[7/4/15, 4:09:00 PM] Dork: or he said they even passed their ideas on to scrub interns to finsh artwork
[7/4/15, 4:09:12 PM] Dork: and when it's for business apparently that's a normal thing to do
[7/4/15, 4:09:21 PM] Me: man
[7/4/15, 4:09:32 PM] Dork: you're not making a unique one of a kind art piece with soul, you literally just need to have something that a 3d modeler can look at and create
[7/4/15, 4:09:54 PM] Me: if I knew art was so cut-throat and not wearing frilly tutus and having tea parties, I probably wouldn't've paid so much attention to math and engineering
[7/4/15, 4:10:05 PM] Dork: I'll cut you
[7/4/15, 4:10:09 PM] Dork: with an x-acto blade
[7/4/15, 4:10:14 PM] Dork: and make you into a scrapbook
