Hi friends! How are you all? I am Saira from Pakistan and doing Job in London.

I've been lurking here for several months, but decided to make an account before Spectrum Live '15. I met a couple of you there. It was really inspiring and I want to be more involved in the community. Hopefully I can contribute, and we all can help each other grow!

Let's Kick Ass!

My background -
I went to school for industrial design, and dabbled in metalsmithing and fine woodworking. During college, I survived leukemia twice and had a stem cell transplant.
I've been to the Illustration Academy a couple of times and attended TAD for a year before it folded.
I've loved games and cartoons since before I could read. I've been drawing since I was little as well. My other artistic passion is street dance, and I'm in a dance crew called the Rhythm Kingz with some members well known internationally (not me though).

Hey everyone, I'm Preston and I'm here to meet some cool artists and share some of my work.

You can check out my DeviantArt page here: http://preston2694.deviantart.com

Hey guys! I finally decided to join the forums, tho I've been lurking for a long time. Learning from a community, who really helps and gives honest advice, is an actual path to become a professional artist, and that is really motivating!

I'm from Azores, Portugal, but live in Toronto, Canada. Came here because of a girl, shit didnt work out but stayed anyway! Its an awesome city for artists, there's always something going on. Canada is also great for artists since we've got a couple of big game company headquarters here, and that was a major fact for me deciding (finally) to make art as a career.

Grew up being the artsy kid but somewhere in highschool, I stopped drawing all together. Magic the Gathering artists were my biggest inspiration (Brom's angels, John Avon's land art, Donato Giancola's sheer beauty and feeling, among so many others). Now people like Dave Rapoza, Miles Johnston, Noah Bradley, Jeremy Lipking, Jeremy Mann (among others :p) are who I look for inspiration/motivation.

Did two years for architecture but quit, since, among other reasons, my program had no creativity in it. Also, I just fucking love concept art too much, and everything related to it, that I really feel its what I'm supposed to do.

So thats my bio! I'll be working to put stuff here soon :)

Cheers!

Hey guys! :D
Just created an account to meet other artists and get inspired :)
Here's my deviantart: http://untoldpromises.deviantart.com/

Although I think DArt is kinda dead right now haha.

Hey guys, just joined up. My name is Zach, I currently reside in Chicago and I'm stoked about being part of a community like this. I always feel like its an uphill battle to stay confident and motivated about your own work, and I've never had the opportunity to be accountable for staying disciplined and continually pushing the quality of my work amongst a group of peers like this before. So I just want to give a preemptive thanks to y'all out there for making this possible.

I just recently decided to go full-on aggro art and have been busy the past month or two dusting off the brushes, peeling away the bad habits and nail down some good ones. I plan on (at least) sketching everyday and posting whatever it might be here, and at my new tumblr, zatchkunapp.tumblr.com

Any finished work I have will most likely end up at my website, spoonartdesign.com.

To make it official, here is a sketch from this morning studying reflective surfaces.
   

Hi my names Camber
Im a 32 year old artist who has frequently avoided studies out of boredom etc...

Im hopeing to change that.
I will have some free time soon and I hope to join you guys in some studies.

Hello everyone,

My name is Svenja, I'm 26 years old (y.y) and currently I live in Italy. I stopped drawing when I was 18, convinced that I couldn't make a living from art. So I studied dietetics, and after graduating I really couldn't get along with this job, so I decided to restart completely and pursue my dream of becoming a illustrator/concept designer/storyboarder. About 8 month ago I restarted drawing, bought a tablet and started to learn digital painting, but I still have so much to learn @.@ My art-idols are Alex Negrea, Dave Rapoza, Yim Yuming, Algenpfleger and Yu Cheng Hong, and I strive to achieve a style similar to the art seen in Legend of the Cryptids, League of Legends and Magic the Gathering.

I'll set up a sketchbook and start posting :) thanks for taking your time reading my first post :D

Hi there my name is dario I'm glad to be on this forum!

Hello there fellow daggers!

I've been on the forum for a while back in 2013/2014, met some of you awesome fellas, then stuff happened, art slowed down, and long story short, I lost contact with the forums and the comunity.

But I'm back with a (re)vengeance (lol not really), and I hope to stay this time. I'm back for the comunity, the critiques, the motivation, the streams (oh how I miss the streams!) and to make this journey with all of you.

Sooo starting a new sketchbook and hopefully not leaving anytime soon!
