Well, I've had a good start so far. I'll use this first post to recap, I have no idea who's even watching me, so I'll just be optimistic and hope at least one person is reading this hehe. I've been doing art for fun and as a challenge. So far, it has indeed been both of those. It's so exciting to think up a character or pose and be able to bring it into reality. Granted, my art still isn't very good, but I'm not aiming to become a professional. My goal is just to create, improve, learn, and contribute. I've been drawing for over a year now, but very sporadically. I was amazed with some of those early pieces when I drew them. When I see them now, I can clearly see all the mistakes I've made. Compared to what I can draw now, I would have never imagined I could improve so much. The same is probably true now. When I look at my current art, it seems unreal that I even drew it, but in a year or two, it will probably seem terrible.

I've had a lot of ideas for characters, and as of now, I have 3 main ones developed. I love drawing Fondant and her features are suprisingly starting to feel natural. I'm at a stage where I'm just trying lots of crazy (for me anyway) poses and perspectives. After I'm satisfied with that, I'll try my hand at things like shading and better coloring techniques. I just use 2 mechanical pencils, colored pencils, and an eraser. I'm sort of limited on supplies, so I'll either have to improvise or invest in some better equipment. You probably also notice that the paper my drawings are on have writing on the back. I use the back sides of papers I get in class to draw on. I was raised to be cheap, so that's what I do. It probably makes the art look tacky, but that's exactly what I'm looking for I guess. Anyway, that's it for now. I'm looking forward to new challenges.
