Hello I am a tattoo artist from Oklahoma currently but I would like to become a illustrator by 2015 even though tattooing is a somewhat artistic field I have a lot of brushing up on my fundamentals and polishing my work before I'll be ready for any illustration jobs. I look forward to learning from and with any and all of you.

Hi Everyone! My names Khyzyl, i'm a 19 year old Graphic Designer from Manchester, UK. I've been meaning to join CD for quite a while now, finally did it! LOOK LAURA! haha ;D

My heart is set on going into the Concept art field, but I have a lot to learn before I even consider how to take that step/transition. Right now i'm trying to learn the fundamentals/basics which i'm finding a bit difficult resources wise, but hopefully with guidance and help I can learn a lot from you guys! :D

Hi everyone

My name is Gauthaman Koyamparambath and i recently joined this kick ass forum. I simply love how much effort everyone is putting in here especially the challenges, paintovers, crits etc. I hope to learn a lot from you guys and get to where we all want to go. I do have a doubt though. Are the golden boy challenges and bloodsport challenges going on now? I only saw one active challenge in the community challenge forum.


Thank you
have a great day.

Hello! I wanted to post here before I started a sketch book thread! I'm a student right now at Digipen and I found this sight thought brenthollowell at deviantart! (he really inspires me (his stuff has so much depth/texture! and he does so much art!)) and had to join after I saw all the AWESOME things this sight has to offer! I really want to connect with other artist/digital paints and work on my skill with the help of your feedback!

My name is Matt and I've gotten to a point with my art where I don't know what to work on to improve. Should I work on portraiture, environmental design, shading, or anatomy?. Recently, I saw a user in the community art section of a forum I frequent post about this group "the Crimson daggers", so I checked it out and this looks exactly what I've been searching for.Hopefully I'll be able to team up with some great people who can give me a nudge in the right direction while we have fun growing together as artists.

Hello there! My name is Marius, i live in Romania and I'm here to learn and further my skills. Currently I'm working in the gaming industry as a graphic artist for a company specialized in Facebook games but I'm looking for a switch to concept art & illustration.

I know the only way to improve and always stay motivated is through others, being a lone wolf never worked for for me. I'm really excited about being here with all you guys and can't wait to start working!

Hi everyone,

My names Peter. I've been drawing since I was a kid. I've always had a passion for it. In the past year i've become increasingly interested in digital painting and have started following a lot of artists via blogs and facebook. Through following them I learned about the forum and I figured i'd come check it out and hopefully meet more fellow artists, learn new things, and hopefully improve as an artist ^^

Hey everybody, I'm new and just made my account. I just bought an intuos5 and have little knowledge of the fundamentals of art, but hope to learn them here. I was referred to this website from deviantart. Hopefully, through Practice, resources, and the support of you guys, I can improve as an artist! :)

Hi to all of you guys!

Finally I have decided to become an active member here.
Currently I study computer science, but lost interest half a year ago I think, when I saw some of FZD School work on youtube. Since then I watched some tutorials, but never thought that I will want to pursue this as a career. After a while I bought a tablet, but I haven't draw almost anything until 3 weeks ago when I saw an interview from Sycra with Alex Negrea. From there my motivation started to grow, I found out about the daggers, and started to watch Dave Rapoza and Dan Warren's streams and that was the breaking point and I want to express my thanks. These three weeks I draw every single day in my free time. I'm 23 now, realizing that it's a bit late, but I will give all to improve myself until graduation(7 months left).
I was very confused where to start, but finally decided to catch up with the classes one by one, until I see how many I can do simultaneosly.
Hmm, the thread became large enough and I have things to draw!
Best wishes, Martin from Bulgaria.
