Hey guys! So I had a MUCH long spheel here, but I decided to shorten it because
1) I tend to ramble and
2) you came for the ART, not my life story! XD

So here's a couple things you should know about me:
- I'm a 19 year old sophmore in college whose dream career is a visual development artist
- Never received a formal art education until last year, but then discovered that the art department at my university is a joke, and decided that i'm not going to wait for them (but start intensive self-studies)
- Just like many others i've grown up with manga and anime and worshipped the style for quite a while, but somehow came around to realizing I needed to learn the rules to break the rules in high school. I've been working on that every since.
- I have quite a drive when it comes to studying, but the problem is I don't really have a regiment or a place to start or a track or..or anything really! So i'm sort of going with the flow now but i'd like to be more organized

Now, I guess for a start I can list my goals and work from there?
Goals:
- To get a good foundation in the basics of art (value, color theory, form, composition, perspective, etc etc)
- Really if you want to get down to it...To be able to draw everything in my head. I'm extremely imaginative, but it's pretty frustrating when I can't accurately portray what I want to on paper or canvas or whatever. My mind's all working but then my skills are sometimes the cockblock of creativity XD

So I guess that's that. Time to upload some actual art! Don't know what the pic limit is here, but I've got a bunch coming @_@

Thanks for reading if you read all that, and I look foward to this journey!!

Gestures from my last semester drawing observations class. They just threw us in front of a model and said go. I'm glad I was self studying hampton at the time, as it made it alot easier to search for specific things.

Was trying to put myself through an art bootcamp sooner but, like I said, I have a hart time coming up with a direction to take that's solid, so I ended up doing some Peter han assignment studies from the internet. SO GLAD I DID. Helped me see forms alot better.
