Hello! I go by the nickname of Helianthe and I live in Paris, France.
Like many I know this forum thanks to Noah Bradley's "Don't go to art school". I bookmarked the forum but never actually signed until now.
I am currently in an art school, but despite the fact that it is not my first art school and that I have met many people since I finished high school, I never really succeeded in having a group of motivated fellow artists/ friends to hang out with. I have a difficult relationship with schools in general and after a self taught year I joined the school I am currently in, but due to a lot of health issues I missed a lot of classes and so it's been more than 2 years I am more or less on my own. It makes me put a lot of pressure on myself and it kinda makes drawing a stressful activity rather than an enjoyable one, so I've decided to share my drawings and enter a community so it can become a fun and fullfilling experience again. And that's why I'm here!
More on myself:
I am 21. I am really interested in concept art and animation, mostly 2D, and I am currently obsessed with Dragon Age (I finished inquisition and started Origins, planning to finish it once I'm on vacation). I also have a tumblr and other social media accounts but I don't upload them often. I hope to meet you guys on the sketchbook threads (and other threads too!) and will go find myself an avatar and create my own sketchbook thread as soon as I hit the post button :D
Cheers!
