I think I may have found my art niche...
14 years ago
*'*•.¸(*•.¸♥¸.•*´)¸.•*'*
Warning... Long and boring so I am starting you off with the TL:DR version.
Icons! Specifically little animated ones...
I know the work isn't very good yet, after all it hasn't been that long since I started drawing digital art, but I am having fun doing it. I cant draw, but I can get the basic shapes then spend time in SAI getting the lines where I want them. Then I do some coloring in SAI, export it to PS and finish coloring so I can animate it.
With the way I draw, I am going to be making and using templates quite a bit especially for the icons.
Constructive criticism and advice is welcome. Have an idea for an icon? Let me know, maybe I can help you...

I used to enjoy doing a bit of drawing, but I was never really that good at it. It was long before I had a computer, so I don't even have any copies of it. I think tho only art I ever ended up with a digital copy of was a couple of neopets I drew and colored for contests on that website. My kids loved it and submitted their's along with mine. My ex made a point of telling me how horrible it was and what a waste of time. I might look through some of my old backup files and see if I can find them.
Anyways, a couple years after that I was thrown from a horse abd badly injured. Among the broken ribs and torn rotator cuff and several other smaller injuries, I also ended up damaging the nerves in my right hand. That was 4 years ago. I lost quite a bit of the dexterity and I still have issues with holding small things like pens and pencils. I haven't even bothered trying until about 6 or 7 months ago. Someone on FA was having a sketch contest where you had to sketch your character then they would sketch your character in their style. That attempt at a sketch made me realize just how hard it was to do for me now. My hand hurt so bad after I was done. I figured since I wasn't really any good to begin with then no loss that I couldn't try anymore.
Then a friend came along and gave me the swift kick in the ass that I needed. She told me that I wasn't going to get any better by giving up. She also said that maybe I cant draw traditional anymore, but maybe I could try something new. Well, I listened to Airyanna and have spent about 7 months now practicing line art and following various tutorials. I think I finally found something I enjoy doing and actually like the results of.
