Hi there, my name is Lukas.  

I'm presently 17 years old and have come here from a 2-year-old Bobby Chiu live stream where Dave Rapoza was the featured guest. I'm really eager to achieve my art goals but I often fall into the trappings of good ol' fashioned laziness and excuses. I'm here to finally hold myself accountable, break the cycle and work hard.

As of the moment my goal, like with a lot of people, is to get into the games industry as an Illustrator. I have less trouble rendering and than drawing, and perspective has proven to be a bit of a bitch to learn. My anatomy is still kind of janky and all over the place and my poses and proportions are super stiff. 

One by one, drawing by drawing, painting by painting, I will get rid of as many of these flaws as I can and I hope you can all support me in my doing so.

Much love from Canada and tootles for now!

Hi there,

Art newbie here. I found these forums after hearing about them on Dave Rapoza/Dan Warrens's twitch stream. I've been drawing and digital painting as a hobby for about 4 years now and I'm try seriously to get better now. Hopefully to get good enough to get into the illustration or concept art industry at some point (that's still quite far away right now).

Up to now my experience has mostly been with figure drawing and some perspective, mostly with traditional media. Recently though I'm trying to learn digital painting and realistic lighting and rendering with schoolism and gnomon videos. My major weakness is that I spend a lot of time studying but rarely apply the studies to create finished pieces because they look so bad that I quickly get discouraged and think I need to "get better" before I can start creating stuff. I'm hoping that joining these forums will motivate me to push past the failures and finish more pieces.

I don't really have a online presence at this point (hoping to change that soon) so I'll just post a lighting study I'm working on at the moment (the bounce lights and secondary lights might be a bit over done..).    

I'll try and start a sketchbook thread and post a few more stuff in the near future.

Thanks for reading =).

Traditional painter , cartoonist, illustrator. Back in 2007 I illustrated a series of irish tales translated to Portuguese to Luci Collin, and did several expositions of the artwork. Recently, together with a production team (2), we won a local recognized award: the 7th. Festcine Pinhais for best-animated film. And in 2019 I exhibited among other artists at The Framer's Gallery in London

Cheers!

Hey everyone!

I'm Sammy and I'm not too far away from hitting the 21st year I'm on this planet.
I've been "activly" drawing for about 3 1/2 years now and slowly starting to do some drawings I sort of like.
I have a really big problem with pushing myself to finish stuff and learn things outside my comfort zone properly, so I'm just slowly, but somewhat happily, chipping away at it to get better. I'm hoping to get the much needed mental push on here to get myself to do that a bit better. hehe

The overall goal I have with art isn't 100% clear yet. I originally got into it to become a 2d animator, but have since gotten really into concepting and recently storyboarding. Before I started drawing I wrote a whole lot, so I generally like to tell stories. My real love in media is film, so eventhough I love manga/comics, concept art and all that I'm really just someone trying to direct his own cinematic projects in his bedroom. 

I've really been in a rut the last few months which I'm just starting to come out of, so let's see how long it takes till the next one!

Hi.
My name's Harijan D.
I'm an artist from Brazil, living in Rio de Janeiro since kid.
My passions are 80's culture, fantasy, comics, games, movies and literature.

ATM my current main work is about doing 2D art for game assets in a local indie studio called Overlord Game Studios.

I didn't took any classes for english, pardon me for my lack of literacy.

The two personal projects I'm working on are called Sword and Dear Orc. An webcomic and a 2D platform game.

Hey there!

I'm SaltySpook it's a pleasure to meet you all.

Hopefully this works? I was trying to make a sketchbook thread but it kept on saying I had 600,000 characters in my post when it was far smaller than that/

Hello there~

I go online by the name of Nievaris.
I'm 31, coming from Austria (small country in the heart of Europe - not the big island with kangaroos :D) and I've been drawing on and off for like 15 years., starting with FanArt of diverse Anime stuff and then finding the furry fandom with about 20 years.

Drawing had always been a big part in my life but I never considered making my career with it because I never thought that without a sort of degree in arts and such I couldn't do it until a friend told me that it is possible and that it's only about your portfolio. I had been 25 then and already felt old for changing direction and becoming an artist instead of a teacher xD

At the moment I'm working in a small company  but it's more graphic design instead of art and I've decided to try and go freelancing next spring.

I'm more of an animal/fantasy artist without much human stuff going on but I want to change that :D
Here's my DA-Portfolio: http://kathrinfuger.daportfolio.com/
And also my ArtStation link: https://www.artstation.com/nievaris

Next on my schedule learning wise is perspective as well as landscapes and backgrounds in general to not have my characters floating around all the time ;D

nice to meet you all ^^/)

Hellos friends!
I'm End, a lost soul who wants to get good at art (specifically drawing/painting) and hopefully get good enough to make a living off of it. I'm a late starter since it took me all of my engineering degree to realize that it might not be for me and that I jump into the deep end to start drawing/painting again. Please feel free to critique my work and rip me to shreds just want to try to make the most of my time back to be able to do the projects I have planned for the future. 

I'm posting on this forum to hold myself accountable, as well as to make art friends. Please feel free to follow me on my journey. 

Hope to grow with all yous. 

Howdy, I'm an intermediate level self taught artist on the road to becoming a gainfully employed professional artist.

I'm looking for critiques, and I love talking about art and helping other artists.

I'm mostly interested in making imaginative realism - fantasy and horror.

Looking forward to making a sketchbook thread to hold myself accountable and give myself a stronger sense of direction.
