Hi,

Hi to all the members of Crimson Daggers. My name is Jon, i stumbled on to this site via Dave Rapoza's youtube videos. I am a digital artist who is based out of Perth Western Australia and am looking at starting out on my career as an illustrator/conceptual designer. At the age of 26 i made the move away from my career as a tattoo artist to start studying illustration design at university here in perth. I have 5 years experience as a custom tattooist as well as 3 plus years in the film and television industry as a post production motion designer & Editor mainly working on commercials. Well thats a bit about myself. I'm really looking forward to participating in the activities of this forum and am happy to receive constructive criticism at all times :)

if you would like to look at my work, feel free to visit my site jonsiva.com
its a little baron at the moment, but i am looking at filling the gallery and workbook with new stuff over the next couple of years.

So hello to the you all again from down under!

Hello all

Aspiring artist from America. never taken a class and workin with a GED. hardcore baby. Nice to meet you all and all that

Hi crimson daggers, i'm a selftaught artist from germany, currently working on raising my skill level to a point, where people are willing to pay me for giving their concepts and illustrations shape :blush: and yeah.... :dodgy: .
Last year, i boosted my anatomy knowledge by taking the riven phoenix Anatomy video course, but giving up on art for a year afterward got it all rusted, and my ability to draw dynamic and accurate figures from imagination has become rather.. inconsistent and undependable. Therefore i'm forced to go trough it all over again. I did keep some base knowledge to work with, however, having concentrated on anatomy only , i neglected everything else. -.- Things like: Composition, perspective , color , light and shadow, Any sort of environmental design, Building a database on gesture and mimic, database for character design, and so on. Basicly , i absolutely lack the knowledge to make what i CAN do presentable. :P The pile of things to work off is huge , and the road is not only steep, but also never ending. Thus, i hope to meet people on the same path here, so we may help each other make the journey at the very least more entertaining, than frustrating :) Anyways, since i don't get attached to my drawings, i hardly ever create something "solid" ,or overly detailed, so there's only few things i can show:

Looking forward to study with you all

I'm 27 and I have been drawing on and off my entire life. More like doodling. I consider myself a beginner, because, well, I'm not good. Only now am I taking drawing seriously and trying to learn the fundamentals and draw everyday. If I can get into it, I'm going to take a fundamentals workshop in about a week and a half, and then I'm going to take a figure drawing workshop in the fall. Here's something I drew a couple weeks ago before I got all serious like...

Hey everyone. I've been hunting the internets for a while now trying to find a site like this, so thanks for being here!

I've been doodling my whole life, but I've just recently decided to hunker down and all that. I've been drawing/painting everyday for about 3 months now, but am having some problems with refinement and color I'm trying to work through.

Look forward to improving with you all!
