Hey daggers :)

My name is Patrick, some call me Pat or if you want you can call me Beardley. Im 17 and I've been arting for about a year and a half now. I'm starting my second year in fine arts here in montreal, though my dream is to become a concept artist someday. I've been teaching myself about illustration and concept art for a few months, mostly through wonderful people who share their techniques online like Dave Rapoza, Feng zhu and more, but also through books.

I've been a big fan of the study mentality that this community lives on for a real long time now, and since I've adopted a more regular pattern of study in march or so I've seen improvement in leaps and bounds compared to previously. Here's my DA, where you can see what I'm talking about. I started doing the study->apply study method after the birthday hippo. I've still got lots to improve on but I feel like I'm improving steadily

This is my first post here although I've been following Daves and Dans streams and their stuff for a while now. I don't get many opportunities to get feedback from illustrators so I figured it would be time to get in touch with some :D.

I look forward to posting future works and seeing you guys's stuff!

Hello guys, my name is Walter Licinio and I really wanna improve as an artist. Just found this forum while reading this article "Don't Go to Art School" by Noah Bradley. I'm trying to follow each step of the 10k list, and I can't believe I never registered here before.

Here is some of my recent work from the past months, and I know I really have a ton of things to improve. More of it can be found at my tumblr

I'm a beginner artist who loves crit! I will be posting stuff for you guys to check out, any form of feedback is welcomed. I'm going to post some stuff to kick this off :)

Hello!

I'm here to first and foremost interrupt the hello titling of all introductions, which i will hopefully not mess up because this is my first time being on any kind of forum ever.

Now with that out of the way, I will admit to actually being here to improve my art too(what an unexpected turn!), because some persons on the internet mentioned it's a good place to do that. No, you can't ask me who they were because i forgot :c

I live in hungary(so if i murder the spelling on some words, i will shamelessly use that as an excuse), but plan to move in to my boyfriend in colorado, but that doesn't really matter here actually :D I went to art and animation school for a year but quit because we quite honestly were just spending 12 hours a day staring at eachother and doing nothing in particular. So i've been alone with my art (hopefully only) up until now. I'll just go link my tumblr http://velannal.tumblr.com/ , some of the finished pieces have the link to my deviantart too on them so i think that's it for the art links.

I hope you people will be friendly and not chase me away with pitchforks and daggers :D
I'm going to go make a top secret base in the sketchbook part just in case.

Hey, I'm an illustrator originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia and currently residing in Toronto.

Found this place on Reddit /illustration, and I love the self-improvement community vibe going on. Seems like a great mix of skill here, and just seems like a real positive environment. Also: it feels nice to visit a message board again and break out of the social media trap for a bit.

You can check out my stuff at http://lazerhorse.com, or better yet on my tumblr (which is updated more frequently) http://lazerhorse.tumblr.com. I do a lot of 80s comic/cult film themed work. Its a bit niche but I love it.

I came here because I want to work on the fundamentals. I love all of the assignments that people have on here, and look forward to participating in them.

But I also came here because on Reddit there was some word of general industry knowledge being shared. Illustration is a difficult field to work in, and any bit of advice from anyone making a living off it is super helpful.

Anyhow, bottom line is: You all seem cool, lets be friends!

Afternoon all :] I'm new here, though I signed up months ago(?), this is the first time I have actually posted. I was suggested here by a friend, because I have been trying to better myself as an artist but I just wasn't making as much progress as I would like as I wasn't getting any of the crit and feedback that I desperately need.

Soooo.... here I am, I'm sure he will approve of me getting off my lazy arse and finally posting. I have a blog which I try and keep updated whenever I have new art I'm happy to share. I look forward to getting to know you guys <3

Hello everyone!

In an effort to expand my very limited working knowledge of the artistic process I have decided to sign up here to become BETARRR @ teh ArtZ! But only time and effort will reveal such things to me. And also in doing so I hope that I can contribute back to the forum in thanks for the future help received:)

If you have time to check out my website please feel free to do so :)

And also here is a little snippet of one of the projects I am currently working on for Noah Bradley's art camp (A master study of Monet).

   

thanks for letting me in to this great opportunity

My Name is Javier. I joined this forum because I liked the atmosphere of diligent hard work and a desire to improve. I was active on another forum, but its personality had changed from what I had remembered, so I left. I hope to spend my time here improving my skills and sharing what knowledge I have with others. I have spent most of my life working traditionally and have recently started working digitally. I hope to improve my ability to handle the digital medium here. I've included some of my digital experiments so far. See you around.

I guess this is a great place to improve and heard some critics and feedbacks from all those fantastic artists that are here.

I'll open an sketchbook later and I hope all you help me to be a better artist and why not a better person?

Thank you guys
