Hello, finally a new art community to join and better my illustration skills. Thanks Stan. I'm a creative art director and I work in the advertising industry. I want to better my story boarding techniques. I'm enamored with the golden age illustrators but I have a special fondness for Sargent and Velazquez. Looking forward to growing with the community.

This is a good idea, and decided to throw myself into the ring. Hello all! I'm very new to digital art, competent in Photoshop and teaching myself how to use it for art. Especially learning and getting control over brushes and how to use them effectively, and using layer modes well. Below are a couple samples of my digital work. The armor is a study (from a photo that is not mine) that I used to practice the textures of different material correct. The other is a typical D&D/high-fantasy style setting where I challenged myself on many fronts, such as a challenging lighting scheme and tried with very dark values. I feel good about it, but there's definite room for improvement. Suggestions and comments are welcome. I like semi-real to realistic in my personal style, and lots of subject matter like figure, environment, and animals. Looking to help people and get some feedback myself.

I've recently taken up drawing first thing in the morning. For now I'm doing 30mins right after waking up and it 's a good way to make sure you draw at least a bit every day. I got the idea from Bobby Chiu's interview with John Park on YouTube.

Hi all, I'm Georgette and I love creating worlds full of secret rooms and forest creatures. I also love telling stories, though I'm still working on getting to the end of them. Oh, I also kind of have an obsession with shapes :>

That sounds like a really good idea :D My name is Hanna and I love your Christmas pumpkin! So... here are some of my drawings:

Hi there! I'm a U.S.-based artist, quite interested in comics but I'm trying to cross-train up my art skills all around and catch up for some lost time. I'm a self-directed learner and am always on the lookout for a new art podcast. In the coming year, I'm looking forward to learning more about painting and rendering, as I have way more experience in drawing. Nice to meet you!
