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.

Hello, I'm Brandy, but you can also call me by my user name. Synister or Syn is what people usually shorten it to. I'm a 31 year old, female character artist/ digital artist. I've been at drawing on and off ever since I was a small kid, but never really worked very hard at improving. Trying to change that this year, cause I'm tired of not being satisfied with my works. There's a lot I need to improve on, but I got this! Nice to meet y'all! :- D

Hello. My name is Wontaq. Actually not, but that's the nickname I chose for this online incarnation. My real name is Guilherme. You can call me either way.
28 yo, male, I like fantasy, mythology, religion, sci-fi and whatever excuses I can find to draw naked people. Figure drawing is my favorite subject in art.

Fav artists are Frank Frazetta, Steve Huston, Heinrich Kley, Jackie Chan, among a few others.

I think that's it? I'm not a good introducer

I used to have a sketchbook on another site that's no longer online. I mean the site. It's gonna be fun to be back to posting things,

See you in the sketchbook section!

Hello People!

MrPaintedPug here, but call me Aaron.

Long-time lurker here, and when I say a long time I'm talking years here. I've always wanted to learn to draw/paint/create but only ever dipped my toe's in. After turning 30 I kind of feel like its a bit of a now or never moment. 

So I'm hoping that an awesome community will keep me on task. Like I said I've had my toes wet for about 10 years but never really committed myself properly, so I'm pretty much starting from Zero! I've spent the past decade feeling pretty unsatisfied working numbing jobs and wanting to take up art seriously, but always finding an excuse. So time to stop being a lazy git!

Looking forward to meeting some awesome people/artists.

Hello everyone!

I've know for a while about this website but while in awe I always have looked at it from the distance, mostly I thought I might not fit in with the style, even when I'm in love with most anything I see here. But I've been struggling alone for a while and I thought, it might be a good idea to step out of my hermit cave and try to get in touch with people once again.

So I'm 29 y/o, gonna hit 30. And my art track has been a mess. I picked drawing on my 20s as a hobby, and then started doing studies once I was about 22-23, that is when I discovered ConceptArt (whatever happened to that site?) and other places to get resources, got my hands on many books and did some reading. But I started to have arm/wrist pains around that time, and slowly ended up dropping drawing and moved onto trying other things, mainly 3D rendering and modelling, and I stopped altogether half a year after that. After finishing my degree on a non-related field, I picked up bike riding, and my arm go so much better! That was around 2016. On 2018 fall I picked back drawing seriously again. And here I am one year later, trying another step in hopes to keep this up.

Lets see if I can break the cycle this time around and actually push myself further.

Hello fine forum people, I haven't touched a pencil in a decade but it looks like now is the time for me to get into it again, hopefully with a valuable hindsight. I tend to revolve around a few fantasy and science-fiction stories that have been growing in my head for two decades, which I used to express as comics, occasionally as illustrations or bits of novels. I will start a sketchbook, and I spotted two groups dedicated to comics. Talk to you soon!

First off, hello! 

I've never done this type of stuff before. Ya know, join a forum and stuff. I've always been lurking in the shadows never actually interacting with people. 

But now I wanna change that. 

I've been kinda serious about art for a few years now. I studied art for three years during high school. And I fell in love with it. However, since I left school and bought myself a computer and a tablet I've been absolutely in love with creating and getting better at art. I've been having so much fun! But sometimes I kind of just want to get helpful critics about my works and just talk about great artists and art in general with someone but all the friends I have aren't artists. So I've decided to join Crimson Daggers in hopes of finding other people with similar interests!

Here are some of the works I've made during the last week since buying my drawing tablet:

   

   

   

   

   

As you can see, my interests are a mixture of realism and anime. What do you think of them?

i'm aka watermelonshark73 and my english is somewhat decent. the highest star rating i got on my newgrounds movies by the time i'm typing this is 3.1. i joined cd because i recently started dedicating my time to digital art and im looking to improve my drawing skills.

you can take a look at my work here if you want (yes im scouted there, meaning that you can find peter griffin pixel art in the approved art portal if you look for it hard enough)
