"The World in Greys, I'm Ready to Color!"



___User Image

Nichiwa people! Here's Lanxal, a budding artist (among many, many other things). I like making banners and such, but only as a hobby. What you might not know is that I'm also a writer, and it's one of my passions.

So what is a computer-brained, word-babbling multitasker doing in an Art Forum?

I want to learn to draw. Simple as that. Now some history. I've been drawing for... well, I guess a year, but there have been in's and out's of that said year that totals it to around two months? Now, believe me, I've learned alot, but I'm what you call "A Nub of the Arts", so don't strangle me to death when you see my 'works'.

Not much more to add. I'll put up my first attempt later. First I got to get the scanner to work.

A little advice before people begin picking on you: make your own brushes/shapes/whatnot. Cause if you go around and say you are a graphic designer with works that are only brushes from OTHER people... You're gonna get hurt.

I was a 'graphic designer' before and was annoyed by the lack of original artistic material there. Sure, making a tag requires some skills, but in the end, it's just rehash of a rehash.

No offense intended, if you saw it that way. smile

Wow, You're Right. Man am I stoopid.
I'm going to focus on that first. Sorry for the inconveniece. I'll work on my drawing when I get that done. ^-^.
