I am lucky nobody got the username John. From my experience, it's probably one of the first usernames to go.

Hello to all of you, all the way from the Philippines. I am an old fart (pushing 30's) trying to make it. 'it' meaning to make a decent living out of drawing pretty pictures.

I do not like my day job, but that's okay. I always have that dread of going to work at the back of my head whenever I draw. Fear is a great motivator.

I joined because I need to stop being a loser. Let's work hard. Let us all be awesome!

Hey folks,

I'm Charlie
Pretty sure I made one of those a long time ago and never did anything with it, so now I am back with a vengeance.
Here to hangout and get a lot better. 

Living in Oregon
Taking painting and figure drawing classes at a local community college
Love eggs, pull-ups, and synthwave music.

Here is blog, insta, and screen of what Im working on right now:

Hello ! My name is Claire and im a 25girl from France.
I've recently graduated from a french illustration school but i'm still looking for job in the field , and i'm not sure i'm skilled enought to get one x(

 So... joining Crimson Dagger to seek for help and progress ! My main weakness is anatomy urglll ... i'm gonna create a sketchbook here : lot of practice in front of me !
My artwork can be found here if u are curious  http://www.mayroo.fr/


Have a good day ! :)

Drawing is not the only thing i have to improve, sorry for bad english skilllls :p

I first heard about this place from Sycra- finally decided to join when martinpazromero recommended it to me on Deviantart.
So anyway! Here is my DA account: http://amrao.deviantart.com

If you look there you will learn that I am a sixteen year old whose skill level is about -700 compared to everyone else here-

But I love drawing, and even though I don't know where exactly I'm going with art right now, I will try to catch up to you guys :)

PS- here also because art program sucks at my school. Realised that if I wanted to actually improve, I'd have to start making myself self-learn. (Is self-learn even a thing people say? lol)

Oh, and here's latest thing I've been doing:
   

It's Snow White- I always figured she'd be kinda plump and have undereye circles like crazy.

Hi , my name is Etienne im 23 and i'm from canada. I speak french mostly but i can speak like a 5 years old kid in english. I understand it more that i can speak it. 

I have draw on and off for quite some time now, but about a month ago i start to realize that i wanted to do it as a job. My skill level is almost inexistant and i'm kind of worried that i'm late at 23 but i want to believe i can do it.  So i joined Crimson Dagger to seek for help and surround myself with people that love the same thing as me.  I have about 4 hours a day to draw cause i have a full time job and i can't afford art school cause i have a car and too much thing to pay. So i'm gonna make the most of it, stop whining, create a sketchbook here and study like crazy. 

Have a great day ! :)


Heres my first time using the wacom, yesterday ( photo studies ) 

   

Hi, im from Italy...I want to get a progress with my art ability. Soon ill'post something im working on recently. 

Hey there, dudes, my name is Marcelo, i'm from Brazil and i'm in the middle of a journey for perfecting my craft.

I found this forum in a thread about Mike Azevedo and how much he learn on this forum (90% of everything he learned if i'm not wrong) the thread was inspiring in how they portray this community and how individuals with the same mindset happen to help one another on their goals. 
And that's why i'm here, i've been drawing for 4 years now and i decide to take this seriously and make a living of it (i know, i know hard stuff...) 
I'll open a sketchbook to post my studies soon enough, i hope we can get along and help one another.

here are some sketches i did this week:
   
   
   
   

Hello guys!  I am Gislaine Avila, from Brazil ... and more than say I'm 20 years old, unfortunately I already have 28  hahahaha. I hope that here I learn much, exchanging information with you!
I am passionate about movies, music, and games, books, mystical things and ... dogs! When I'm not drawing ... I'm doing any of these things or walking my dog.
I will be opening a sketchbook thread too so i can update it with current and completed projects.  

Anyway ... I hope you enjoy my portfolio: https://www.artstation.com/artist/giavila

Hey fellow painters, how's it going everyone!?

Short introduction:
My name is Sven, I'm from Berlin/ Germany and rediscovered my love for painting a while ago.
I used to freelance (3D) next to my ordinary job but had to quit because I underwent a stressful time,
so decided to not juggle two jobs.

Times've changed and now I'm looking to freelance again someday - this time in 2D though.

Whole lotta practice in front of me, but I'm excited to have an interesting exchange with you guys.

See you around!!

Hey guys, S4MURAI_CAT here!

Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself;

My name is Sergey (From lat. "servi dei",which means "God servant") . I am 22 years old. I was born and raised in Lithuania in Klaipeda city. I like playing games;watching movies,cartoons,anime;going to the gym; And,of course, to draw. If i would characterize  myself, i would say that i am some lazy son of a... I am too lazy to do all this stuff above ,even if i like them. Well, that's my paradox.

What i hope to get out of this community is to beat up my laziness,make some friends and just to have a good time!
Here is my deviant art page :  http://s4murai-cat.deviantart.com/  -i haven't upload any drawings yet,but i will leave it here anyway.
 

Have a great time guys and may the art be with you!
