Hi, my name's Jason. I've wanted to learn to draw for a while now, but I've always told myself I couldn't do it, up until the past year or so. I've only really had about a year of practice with traditional tools in art classes, and I'm trying to get in as much work as I can to improve and accomplish my goals. I'm also here so I can make myself accountable by uploading work regularly.
Being a beginner is really tough. There's so much art I see out there I wish I could do myself, but I know I can't, and then I get envious/frustrated. I'm mostly coming around to stopping this harmful thought process and trying to see the positives and little victories with smaller goals. I figure if they can do it, so can I...it'll just be a while (a few years at least) before I can hit that point.
