Finishing Drawing On The Right Side Of The Brain

I finished the book on 2nd January 2015. The last challenge was to draw the self portrait again, but using the techniques learned throughout the book. While I still have a lot to learn you can see a drastic improvement.

I also learned how to draw in a one-point perspective and a two-point perspective.

It took me about 3 months to complete the book, I worked very slowly through it, and probably would've taken longer if the library hadn't asked for the book back!

I'm not too sure what to do now I've completed the book, I'd like to do more self portraits, and restart CTRL+ Paint, although I don't have many plans for personal projects yet. I'm still deciding whether to start a university course in the fine arts as I'm saving for a mortgagee. I don't know if the course I want to do will be beneficial, as it's distance learning, and I don't think it will yield the same contacts in the design industry than if I went to a bricks-and-mortar university.
