Evening ladies and gents! So, this is something that I personally have been mulling over for quite some time now. I'm well aware that many people say they want to do art and then never follow through because it's too hard or some such nonsense, or see some spectacular artist's creations and think they can pick it up, come to realize they're in over their head.

I can assure that this is not the case. For years now, this community has influenced much of my artistic tastes, spurred me to get the creative juices flowing, so to speak, and while some of you may say that my writing is good, I genuinely wish to do more than that. I want to develop my illustrative skills and learn and apply whenever possible. Now that I'll be getting my degree fairly soon (ahead of schedule, no less!), I'll have a lot more free time on my hands, and this just seems like the perfect opportunity.

As I've said, this is something that I've been dwelling on for a while now. It's kept me up at night and haunted my desires for I don't know how long now. As of this moment however, I actually have very little drawing experience, but, I am well aware of the fact that such skills are no natural talent, rather, acquired, and I'm ready and willing to put in the time and effort needed to develop such skills. This is where I reach out to anyone interested.

As I said, my artistic skills are novice at best, but to those artists out there who are willing to lend a hand, you'd have my eternal gratitude in aiding me in this endeavor that I've wanted to pursue for so very long. Hell, even passing the word along to someone who might be willing to take a little time out of their day to help this wolf out would be greatly appreciated. I hope in due time, I can enrich the community as it has enriched me!
