Hi, I'm Susannah.
I'm 16, living in Australia and planning on becoming a forensic artist some day LOL.
I began really studying anatomy and the like in 2007 when I was 14. I've improved a lot since then and hope to help others get to the place I'm at, easier than I did, and to learn a thing or two from some of the awesome artists here.
I favor a more realistic style, although I started with anime. : )

Hi :3

I'm Vaporeae. I'm also known as Vapour or Vapz. You can generally find me lurking around the writers forums. I've not really done any drawing related stuff on Gaia yet, so this'll be good.

I've been drawing for a while... I've a feeling I'm younger than a load of people here, but oh well. I draw manga... I used to draw really really really bad anime in year six (honestly, the heads were as big as the bodies and the legs bent in horrible directions. Awful proportion... at least I've improved since then). I love drawing. I take forever to do a finished coloured piece though. I also love writing, and I want to write novels. People are always saying that it's good that I can write and draw 'cause I could illustrate my own books... which is very tempting, to say the least :3

So yay~

HI PEOPLE. heart

My name is keiiii (pronounced like "kay"). I work exclusively with digital media (usually Photoshop) -- Even though I love traditional media as well, my hyperactive large breed puppy will knock the canvas down/ steal my brush and run off/ etc. as soon as she sees me trying to paint something. XP

I grew up immersed in anime/manga, so there is a lot of influence from that. It was such a big part of my childhood, and remains a part of me as a whole to this day.

You guys are not that old. I'm 28. D:

It's an honor to have you Keiii. You've been one of the people I've been talking to in AD and seeing around PP since I joined gaia in 2004. (At least that's how I remember it. It's been a while.)

Good to have you.

Welcome, everyone. I hope you find what you need here, but I also hope you give the same to the best of your abilities.
