Back to the basics
#1
So it's time. It's been a bit difficult for me to get back into art,. Art means a lot to me, it got me through foster care and many difficult times in my life, and I've dealt with arthritis and carpal tunnel before I even had any real success as an artist. For a while, I did work with 3D doing architectural work for people but that was something I was never passionate about.

Anyways, for me, art was the most fun to learn on conceptart.org, so Crimson Daggers seems like the next best step. I'm very rusty, and I will need to learn new things, as well as re-learn many others, but I hope to find the artist I'm meant to become along the way. Anyways thanks for coming to check out my sketchbook. Well, regardless of everything else, it's something I love doing, and lately, I feel like I love art again, and that's a great thing.

I plan on sharing everything I can here, from my successes to my failures, my mistakes, etc. because that's how we learn, and maybe even reach mastery one day, I've always believed I had very little talent, but when you're truly passionate about something I believe you can grow through effort and hard work. Feel free to give me advice, critiques etc that's what I'm here for. I hope to contribute to this Sketchbook for many years to come. And hopefully contributing to this will motivate me to keep going, and to draw even more.

I am not the most talented artist. But I am dedicated, My conceptart.org sketchbook (RIP) was around for about 10 years, I also started it age 12 so most of it was very, very bad haha. I try to treat my journey like one of those slow growing trees. I don't grow very fast, but over time I'll develop very strong foundations, and I just need the self confidence to not give up this time. This has been my dream ever since I was a kid, what's made me who I am and I owe it to myself to try one more time. I've never had a "real" teacher besides nature, books and tutorials but I hope to give myself somewhat of a real curriculum this year.

Anyways, here's some sketches, studies, etc.
