Hello, everyone. I'm new to the guild, but I'd like to take full advantage of what it has to offer. That means I will be accepting mentees as well as critiquing individual work. I can help with traditional artists as well as digital, however I am most focused on digital processes at the moment.

About me:
I'm an eighteen (soon to be nineteen) year old that is going into my second year of college in order to become an Illustrator. I have been creating art since the age of thirteen and it has never left my life since. I am interested in manga styled artwork as well as painterly realistic.

I am by no means the perfect artist. I have my strengths and my weaknesses. I realize some people may not be interested in my help because of these weaknesses, but I'm a firm believer in the fact that everyone has something to bring to the table. So let me feed you as much as I can?

Strengths:
•Composition
•Color
•Manga style
•Acrylic Paint

Weaknesses:
•Anatomy in dynamic poses
•Lighting

Want to become a mentee?


Please be aware that I am one person and that I'm also working a job and going to school. Sometimes it may be difficult for me to answer you, but I will try my absolute best.

I require my mentees to take lessons seriously and to complete them within a certain period of time. I will not wait two months for a simple exercise. If I'm putting work into helping, I will appreciate some help as well.

I am currently accepting ALL levels of artists. I will create lessons based on skill level. All mentors may ask to be taught privately by PM otherwise I will post all information in the thread. If you're interested, just complete this simple form.

I am currently accepting up to three mentees. Below are the chosen few:
• hisoka-kaminalover12
• iKusk Muubi


If you don't necessarily require mentoring, I am also available for in depth critique. My critiques will be based on my opinions and experience. I may say things that you disagree with, but just know that I am saying it with good intentions. I will NEVER tell someone they are a horrible artist or say a piece was a complete waste of time. So if you're interested, just fill out this simple form!

I think that's all the information I have for now. Thank you for checking out the thread.
