Now that I have your attention... Soooo for those of you who have watched me in the past, I've often said that there's not much reason to watch me here, since I don't really DO much on FA aside from favorite stuff and rarely comment on posts.
This, hopefully, is about to change.
I've recently decided to take a serious stab at drawing. I recently met a couple really great artists who happen to practically be neighbors of mine, and they were quite an inspiration for me to finally pick up a pencil and do what I've always dreamed of doing. I see a lot of beautiful pictures in my head, and have often felt disappointment at my inability to make them come to life on paper. But recently, I asked myself "what's holding you back?" And the only answer I could come up with was "myself."
So Evolus is now an artist! YAY!
I'll soon begin uploading pictures here and there that I've sketched. I've committed to drawing one new thing per day, and learning as much about the craft as I can. So far, I've only drawn from references, as I don't yet possess the confidence to draw from my brain, but the hope is that one day this will change. So for those of you who watch me on FA, I'll soon be giving you an actual reason to do so!
My only request from you guys is that, while I absolutely expect (and encourage) constructive criticism posted on my work, please keep in mind that you're speaking to a completely new artist, so keep the comments constructive and not unkind. I also welcome any tips you guys may have for me as to how to learn and grow as an artist. I know everybody starts somewhere, and a reaffirmation that I'm not alone is immensely helpful.
I know this won't be easy, but I'm not going to quit, even if I find myself drawing and erasing the same line over and over and being close to throwing my sketchpad, as I expect will happen someday. I'm tired of saying "I wish" when absolutely nothing is stopping me from saying "I did."
Keep watching this space, friends. I'm about to have actual content. :3

By the way, nearly everyone I know uses references for things, even myself :p you'll never remember everything perfectly about someone's OC unless you've been drawing them for a good long while.
I'm still learning myself, but maybe we can share stuff :)
:3 Hope fully I can help, too!
