Checking out the Forums!

Alright! Over the past two days I've done some research on critiquing websites and I wanted to share my findings. On the list we will review Conceptart.org Polycount Reddit Conceptart.org: At first glance I thought the site looked great. That experience changed upon my very first click. Let me try to paint the picture that is the typical user experience: Click on register, go to a page with a list of LevelUp subscriptions that have no description. You now have two branches: Click pricing at the bottom of the page which takes you to a page that finally describes the service (which is basically throw your money at some guy who might look at your work...by the way you can't find that guy's portfolio...).

I figured this would be a good time to start practicing. *Before I begin I want to share my personal insight into the process of drawing. If you would like to skip this part you can check out my critique below. So many times (character design, sculpting, and modeling classes) when trying to learn to draw I have been given an anatomy book and was instructed on proportion and measurements.
