Hiya everyone, I'm Miguel. Excited to see this site launch; I've been following Proko since he put out the first figure drawing course, and this is an awesome next step. Hoping to see a strong community develop here. Due to... recent world events, I've gone much further in on trying to level up than I have in the past, and now I'm trying to work towards a style that falls somewhere between very graphic and painterly. While I'm done tinkering with these pieces, I'd greatly welcome hearing about common issues in my paintings, or advice about the direction I'm going in.

Something that isn't clear to me is what posting patterns I should follow. Just an example: if I make a thread under Paintings just to introduce myself and show some of my stuff, is that also where I should post WIPs for critique, or should I make a new thread for that? Or should I be posting in a critiquer's hello thread to do this? More generally, I'd feel less reluctant to post if I knew exactly where the post I intended to make belongs, because I don't want to clog up forums with too many threads in the long term, nor do I want to inadvertently hijack threads.
