Howdy:
I've been lurking here for a while and you all have taught me a lot, for which I have to thank you.
One of my recent goals has been to come out of my shell and join the art community again, so here goes **deep breath**.
I've been a graphic artist most of my career, but started practicing illustrating with a tablet about two years ago. My progress has been slow as I haven't always been disciplined or dedicated enough to study as much as many of you.
I'm well aware of my short-comings: values/anatomy/perspective/backgrounds, so I'm going to be studying to overcome them, as embarrassing of a process it will be.
Most of my older work can be found on my DA page and blog, so I won't block up the thread with it. Thanks for listening and thanks for the community, I really love the inspiration here!
