Conviction + Accountability = learning...Go go go!

Seeking a partner at mid/high level that has pretty good digital drawing and painting skills.

I have extensive experience with 3D art as well as a seasoned eye towards art skill. I have lots of anatomy experience, but lacking in pencil-time. I am a production artist so Im comfortable with working with other creative people and teams.

I think we could help each other get better at our skills.

I have been a 3D character artist for video game development for almost 2 decades.

Coming from a background in traditional sculpting and hand drawn animation, I transitioned into digital art by learning on the job. I was fortunate to help design, model and animate characters for several games published by Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft. My current day-job is creating characters for Super Evil Megacorp.

Funny thing is.. my break into game development started with concept design, but 99% of the time I have been modeling, animating, and painting textures. Now I am looking to go back to the basics as well as continue and learn to grow, maybe even find ways to use 3D to augment my 2D art.


I currently devote about 1 hour every day to towards painting and drawing study.

I live and work in California, Pacific Standard PST Time Zone. I usually have about 30 minutes time during my morning commute (8-9am) and evening commute (6-8pm). I could find additional time early morning (5am) a late at night (11pm) as well.

My short term goals are to get a few illustrations done before June 2016, as well as plenty of study and practice. My interest is in Fantasy, Sci-Fi illustration, but I love all forms of art.

I am also mainly a 3d artist learning to draw, would be interested in working together and motivate eachother, how would you see this in practice?

Thanks for responding, sorry for the slow reply, as it turns out weekends during December are full for me, plus the last week this month I will be out skiing.

I am thinking on how to start? For example what I have done for myself is to set short term easy to achieve goals (30 minute studies). A big part of that for me is time, as it seems I never have enough of it. Secondly is focusing on what interests me the most in the moment, plus lots of anatomy and composition study.

I am open to any ideas or suggestions, even copy other projects and maybe find goals and interests as a way to motivate each other?

Would you have art posted on-line that you could share?
