Hey Everyone!

[Wraeclast]

Hello All! I'm a brand new digital artist, exploring different forums in search of places were I can post my art and get meaningful, helpful critiques to help me grow and become better! I started practicing almost 5 months ago, and when I graduated 2 months ago I began practicing about 18 hours a day (except for those days where I neglect sleep altogether). I hope everyone will help me grow as an artist here!

By looking around I'm sure you'll find lots of useful tips, tutorials, people, help, links and such forth. But for what it's worth thought I'd throw out some useful things :)
- YouTube there's plenty of wonderful tutorials there.
- Livestream again wonderful tutorials and people on here often post that they're streaming (meaning they're doing live art work and you can watch them online)!
- You might be interested in deviantART www.deviantart.com it's full of artists, bursting at the seams infact, I'm sure you'll find your own lil corner, style and such plus there's some fantastic tutorials on there and plenty of free stock and resources including textures and brushes.
- Further more you might want to check out some useful things like

Also create your own sketchbook here to put all your work, work in progress (wips), ideas, sketches etc etc (digital or traditional) and have fun :D
