Hello all, My name is Manuel Castañón Guerrero and Im an aspiring artist from Mexico.
I have drawn all my life, the problem is that for 18 years of it I considered copying stuff, even for reality, as "cheating" somehow I thought artist were some supertalented beings who could reproduce images out of nothing and that I just didn't have it in me, until 9 months ago that I was taught the importance of studies and everything started to click, suddeny I was improving faster than I thought possible and even though im not that good yet, I realized
This is what I want to do, and artist, what I want to become...
thanks for reading and please, all critique and comments welcome, any feedback, advice, etc. please don't hesitate :D
Im gonna post some of the stuff Ive done, hope you like it :D
