first let me give some credit to  Wolfy-Nail since I use one of his pieces for practice material so I can better my own skills. a lot of people asked me why don't you go to art school or something to make something of yourself and my answer was the same because I draw for fun the is a hobby that I take much pride in and I love doing and I don't really care to learn how to draw from a teacher its not my thing I learned from my mistakes and experiences and I will continue to do so. the thought did cross my mind that I could post my work and other stuff I did on a site and fa was the first but there was a few goals/challenges I gave my self before I made a decision. #1 work on my anatomy and other things I felt was lacking. #2 find/define my own style of drawing my anthro's anime characters ext. and what have you. #3 work on my backgrounds because who am I kidding I know they could use a lot of work. #4 make sure my style is constant In what I am going for. #5 trust in my tool of choice with confidence- let me explain this one and try not to sound egotistical I wanted to give myself a huge confidences boost no matter what tool other artists use digital, painting, traditional ext. I wanted to let myself know and feel like I can keep up, compare and compete with others. #6 if numbers 1-5 are meet and to my standers/likings I will join fa. you will see my progress, work and how I got the determination to join fa and show everyone what kind of skills I got. >:3
