hello, i'm new in this forum. i'm 22 and still in the process of learning(a bit too old but whatever)
here is some of my work, old stuff though.. http://ontowiryo.deviantart.com/
feel free to watch and i'll watch you back :)
Hey. Tiny Pickles here. I was referred over here from /IC/ and I think this might be a good site for me.
I'm a totally newbie even though I've been "drawing" for 8 years. I realised way too late that I needed to put mroe effort into it and now im suffering but i'm serious now and i'm ready to work and learn!
Found you via a new friend, he referred the forum and I thought what the hell :D I can always use more feedback. Plus we are all social creatures, and the internet is our modern vehicle.
My primary media is charcoal, graphite, conte/pastel, ink, and watercolor - the fine arts. I dabble in others. I recently bought me a bamboo tablet and dusted off a very old copy of PS. I need A LOT of help learning the CG media, but would really like to count that as another primary! Used to play with it, but all very basic stuff.
I'm a teacher and professional artist. I teach for the local school district (middle school art) and lessons at one of the city art centers. I also freelance and sell work at events. Still fairly new at all of this, but I like to think of myself as tenacious ;) so any information or advice is taken under account and very much appreciated!
So i've been wandering around this forums for a while and I have been tossing up the pro's and cons of actually committing to this kind of thing (In my opinion, it's a serious decision that I am making and I want to make it with complete certainty that I will push through with it.) Decided to push through with it, as I want to start working really soon and want to start getting really serious about it.
Um... where to start.
My name is Sarah.
I'm NZ Maori.
I'm female.
I have an obsession with dinosaurs that could rival a 10 year old boy (Hence the name).
I've been painting for only a couple of months, seriously at least.
Basically I'm just looking for some motivation, inspiration and like minded people to work with.
Greetings folks! Just started up an account here, shamelessly tagging along after my buddy Alex Konstad. I just graduated from TAD and am trudging away building my skills and portfolio and have been making daily studies a habit, and I've really missed having a solid online community to get feedback from.
So I've put some of my finished pieces here and will start up a study thread too. Looking forward to meeting all you upstanding folks! : )
I'm 33. I have always liked to draw. I use to play a lot of shadowrun when I was a teenager. After high school I got a job, a wife and a house. I had no time for "hobbies" After all this time I finally realized that there are people who do this for a living. I want to be one of those people.
My wife fully supports and believes in me.
I have been sketching part time for a while and I like doing plein air watercolor painting, just getting back into it. I'm terrible. With a cushion of savings and my wife helping, I quit my job ( it sucked anyway ) and I have this summer to devote to art.
While I'm at it, I Know Crimson Daggers ( also cghub ) is a good environment. Just lurking here has been amazing.
So that's me. I'll post a deathline soon and start a sketchbook.
Basically I'm here to find people who want to get better at the same things I want to get better at. I've already got a solid background in figure drawing, so I can do some mentoring there if anyone it, here's a few old examples, I've improved a bit since then: http://i.imgur.com/dN5Ma.jpg
But what I really want to improve on is industrial design in general, vehicles, buildings, interiors, weapons, and then things like armor and helmet design. If I could find a mentor that would be amazing, but they're so hard to come by, so I'm thinking of starting a study group. Anyone interested in working on ID?
I'm Maja from Croatia, and some of you might remember me from CA from a loooong time ago, my nick was The Whistler (as in Jethro Tull's song, not Whistler the painter, I'm not that good ;) )
Anyways, I'm a hobbyist, and I haven't been drawing in a while since my job and life didn't permit it, but I can't seem to get enough of drawing lately, so it looks like I'm back. If anyone's interested in any of my stuff, there are links to my blog, DevArt and CGHub gallery in my signature.
So, that's it, I guess. Looking forward to spending more time here. :)
