Welcome to my Sketchbook!
Update Dec 2022:
Hey there. It's been forever - 8 years actually - since I looked in my sketchbook. Having been to other social media platforms and never really found a happy place, I decided to come all the way back here and try posting in my ancient sketchbook again. I made some decent progress over the years but it could have been more drastic I'd say. Feedback and a regular "posting schedule" did help me back in the day and I hope I can get back to it, improve even more, work out the kinks and become the illustrator I want to be. Honestly I've been slacking, life got in the way of my goals and I just want back on that hardcore art journey train. Nothing toxic, nothing unhealthy, but some good old hard work to overcome mediocrity. I hope there is still a place for that here and I hope someone out there is with me or finds what I post helpful or whatever. Cheers

Original Post:
I became "serious" about drawing and painting in Winter 2013 and my goal is it to become professional.. that's pretty common here I guess.
What's kind of cool for me is I'm living at my parents right now and I am willing to dedicade my whole time and life to get better at art.
I just turned 20 and the plan is to teach myself everything I have to know with books and the internet.
So the big challenge is to get a job after one year of being totally concentrated on learning the basics/fundamentals of drawing and painting otherwise I gotta go to college/university and study design so that there is more time to get better.
I will be posting (almost) every day here and try to get to at least 8-10 hours of drawing a day.
So hey please help me out on this one, leave comments, be critical, I'm open for every piece of advice. :)
So here are some first drawings that's where I'm at.. long way to go!
