Hi!

My name is Arturs and I'm 2Dish artist from Latvia seeking for a community and ways to improve my art. I come from scientific type of family and have nobody to talk about art :D. Except some friends I made in Art Academy of Latvia, but you know.. they are "real artists" and they are not that interested in computer graphics and game art.

Soon I'll maka a sketchbook.

Bye

Hello everyone! My name is Cecilia G.F. (acronyms of my surnames not for "girlfriend" xD) and I'm from Spain.
I've been drawing since I got memory but never take it so seriously, I made the decision 3 years ago to be a profesional illustrator and now I'm looking for all the help/support/advices to keep going on this world.

You can watch my portfolio here in ArtStation and if you dare you can like my FB page 

Really glad to be here!

How is everyone?
I'm Jordan. I've just graduated year 12 in Australia 4 days ago. I would love to work as an artist for Blizzard Entertainment, their art styles have always made me want to make art. I'm not sure what specific art role I would like, 3d, 2d, animator, environments or character design - They all sound appealing so exploring mediums will help me decide.

At the start of  my senior high school year's I was really tempted to drop out since I was motivated to just learn art though I let that slip as I studied  now I'm happy to have total freedom to learn what I want! I came first in my years art class and my major work is nominated for selection in the state-wide year 12 exhibition however my art is dreadful on any sort of professional or real world scale. Time to start training. I've turned down my offer at an art school, their art looks more conceptual and artsy fartsy than technically refined.

I have a working gap year ahead of me before I make any decisions on university or moving over seas and I plan on committing to teaching myself art through books and the internet. Right now I'm pretty uncertain of how to jump back into learning art though.

I really think that joining crimson daggers will help me stay motivated as there isn't much art in my community.

Hello Folks,

my name is Josip and I have a proven track record of successfully wasting time playing video games, staring at the TV, watching Po... eh Polo games and so on..

You are my new substitute for all of that. I'll do some of your amazing classes, look at your beautiful works and steal your precious art-secrets!

I work as a graphic designer and have been drawing on and off for a lot of years now, but hardly ever consistent.
I have no ambition in becoming a Pro Illustrator (gonna get rich by winning the lottery.. fingers crossed).. but if that Pro-thingy actually happens.. Yeah, why not.

At the end of the day I'd just rather have the feeling of having been productive instead of achieving a higher rank in Counter-Strike.

Hello my name is Troy, and I have been digitally painting for a little over a year now, on and off admittedly. But, I have decided to practice more consistently, and have come here to help others, and to hopefully be critiqued harshly on the pieces that I put in to my sketchbook lol. Anyway, I am 19 years old, and from New York; I have many things I like to do like reading, watching anime, reading manga, and other mundane activities such as writing stories, and playing chess. I am open to pretty much anything, excluding activities like murdering people, and kicking cats. But I cant say I wouldn't be friends with someone who did do that. I enjoy the company of others, because I find everyone interesting. Oh, and I also like typing unorganized introductions whenever I get the chance to. Thanks for having me.

My Name is Michi,

I got to know this site through an levelup interview with Dave Rapoza.

My goal is to become a professional 2d artist, to improve my creative skillset, to create some cool artpieces and have fun along the way :) 

I started drawing digitally About 3 years ago. Eversince I have journeyed from traditional oilpainting on to learning digital painting to 3d modelling and sculpting and only very recently back to painting 2d.

At the moment I´m working on my portfolio and this made me realize, that constructive critic and inspiration from likeminded folks is very important to tackle the little problems, that happen in the paintingprocess, especially when it comes to rendering for hours. Sometimes a set of fresh eyes makes all the difference.

I ´m super excited to have found this artcommunity and hope to learn, be inspired by you guys and create cool artwork.

Cheers

Hey, guys!

Name's Fern, I'm an illustrator from Monterrey, Mexico. I just joined this place looking to meet some new fellow artists of all kinds to make my life richer and nicer and with whom to share advice and all sorts of mundane shit :). Bonus points if you like tabletop games!

If you're curious about my work, I've been a free-lance artist for around 5 years illustrating graphic novels and children's book with Capstone Publishing. I also worked two years as a colorist and occassional penciler for some comic book firms like IDW, Marvel and even some DC stuff sprinkled in there. A little while after that I joined a video game art outsourcing studio in which I started off as concept artist and later became mentor and art director for one of the concept art teams.

Here's a portfolio website, in case you're interested: https://ferncano.carbonmade.com/
And my facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/artofferncano/?ref=hl

So! I hope to make some friends here! 

Oh by the way, I know this isn't like Tinder for artists :'D

What's up everybody, I'm here to work hard and learn from all you beautiful artists

Greetings every one! I'm delighted to be part here. I'm excited to learn more from you guys!

I'm a book illustrator by profession right now. I felt the need to improve my art and hopefully get better! I want to dedicate my time at least 1-2 hours of practicing gesture drawings everyday, you can also by visiting this site http://www.quickposes.com/

I hope this is much helpful to you and to our fellow artists here. 

to God be the glory!
