I'm Babs. I'm a digital artist working in a small mobile game and media company. I'm still new to art at a professional level and I'm here to just soak up all I can as well as help in any little way I can. So many guys out there have provided the resources that have gotten me to a place where I can get hired and do this full time. I just hope I can give back the same way. This is the first forum I'm active in and I'm a bit unsure of how it goes.

I guess that's it for now.

hey! i'm elmhoax, i'm a 19 year old student currently studying illustration. I generally work with gouache and watercolor, and some occasional digital work. Currently i'm in a weird style phase with my digital shit; i guess I'm trying to figure out my style and method of working... digital comes much less naturally to me than traditional! so that's one of the main reasons why I joined. But I mean, of course I want to improve in all areas! I'd really appreciate any and all criticisms on my work. LAY DOSE HARSH CRITS ON ME MAN, I CAN TAKE IT.

above is some recent work... there's more on my tumblr !!!!!

anyway, hope to see you around! let's be friends!

As the tittle itself says: HELLOOO!

I'm Vana and I come from Croatia, and how did I get here?
Well, a dear friend of mine recommended the site, so here's the new member!

I hope to gain new friendships among existing members and to progress even faster. I exist in this world for 50 days: I "digitize" since last Christmas when I got my pen tablet Dermot (yeah... I like to name my stuff) as a gift. (Thank you Santa!! ^.^)

Every positive comment and every smart critique of my work is absolutely the thing I'm looking for. So please help me on this road to success and with struggle against this monstrous brushes and dangerous challenges!

And as I ran out of ideas what next to say, I salute you and wish you a nice day! ^.^

Please be my friend! :3
Arigatooo!

Hello everyone! I just registered..

hi just new on site just want to say hi

Hi,

My name is Yulian. I am an illustrator and graphic designer.

I'm still new in digital painting. Usually I draw with pencil or pen and color my illustration digitally. About a year ago, I started to be interested in digital painting, and tried to paint digitally. I have to admit that the result was not good. So here I am, would like to improve my skills by joining this forum. It looks like this forum is a great place to learn.

Nice to meet you all. Looking forward to know you, and hope we can learn together! :)

Hey there guys,

My name is Gabriel Ramos, but you can call me Xiaogabe, Gabe, or whatever you'd like.

I joined this community because a friend suggested it to grand regards and after exploring a bit, I can see why. Very nice community, something I wish I could see more often.

I am an illustrator student, enjoy doing both traditional media as well as digital, but I'm majoring in Game Design, Concept Art. I would prefer to just do illustration, but as a career choice at the moment, concept art seems like a more 'viable' option.

Enough of that! I enjoy helping people in any way that I can to get better in every way I can.


I hope to become an active member of the community, and meet many friends.

Have a good evening!

My name is Robert Stein and I recently realized that I should probably do something I love, so I talked to my boss and cut down my working hours to spend on art.

So now I'm just trying to land with both feet and to be able to focus fully on art, by applying to schools and finding ways to improve as much as I can. So that's why I'm here.

I hope to learn a lot from you guys, and I've been skulking around here for a while already and it seems like a great place!

Hi
Im a 31 year old guy from Finland. I have wanted to make webcomics for like forever and maybe even do art for a living someday (dare i hope?).. But my biggest problem is that i have no discipline and i procrastinate way too much.

To change myself, i was about to start a sketchbook thread at the ComicDish forums. My thinking was that my top priority should be to make drawing daily a habit, instead of only drawing when i felt like it (and there have been months when i have not drawn anything!).. So if i manage to cultivate a habit of drawing daily, even if its just for 15 minutes, it would help a lot! I think its a lot like deciding to go for a walk. Its really hard for somebody who is a couch potato to decide to go for a 3 hour walk, but it takes far less willpower if you walk to the supermarket and as you are walking to there you decide to do a little detour, maybe walk 500 meters past the supermarket. And then gradually, you each time increase the amount you walk.. and before you know it, you'll be doing 3-5 hour walks regularly. Well, im still in the fat couch potato stage when it comes to doing art

Anyways, i happened to watch some drawing video on youtube and somebody recommended this forum in the comments. This place looks to be much more active than the ComicDish forums, so i thought to start my sketchbook thread here instead

Hi everyone, my name is Phil, and I'm from the UK.

I'm quite shy by nature, and this has lead me to avoid sharing my work, (which really sucks in comparison to the artists i see out there).

So I'm here to change, to get better as an artist, and try to deal with my anxiety about sharing my lame artwork stuff. Looking forward to it all ;)
