hem ok so .. first of all, I'll provide a little background on me :)
I've always appreciated most forms of art and I've always liked to doodle stuff everywhere but I've never really been partly satisfied by my doodles until about two ( or maybe three I'm not too sure) years ago, which is when I discovered that I was able to assemble lines into something that almost looked good ... joy !
I've never really been serious about my art abilities until that fateful moment, after that I began to think that I would maybe like to try a career as an artist .... but I'm far from that right now hehe ^^ .. anyway, I juggled with the idea for a while ... and then I discovered DeviantART.... and I spent countless hours lurking around the works of some talented people there (I had waaay too much free time ..) .... that was a couple (5-6) of months ago.
About a month or two before the end of my schoolyear I took a resolution (let's call it a summer resolution :D) if I wasn't able to find myself a summer job (which I wasn't because I'm such a lazy ass and I tried way too late ..) I would have to draw a lot to improve myself.
.. So in short, I've been lurking in this forum for a few weeks and I decided to join to force myself to draw more (since I haven't drawn that much .... lazy me :shrug:)
My art education is fairly poor with only one short session(a few hours each week for like .. 10-15 weeks) of cartooning lessons to which I was almost always late... and half a school year of art class, which was (even though it was short) really a bunch of fun :D !
I've started the 50 heads challenge two days ago (even if it ended a few weeks ago) because I think I can very well use that practice :) I will post them in a few mins when my scanner stops craping in my hands (litteraly) .... I will also post a few anatomy studies I made from a bodybuilding book (rawr big muscley men ^^) .
technical comments/advices are very much appreciated, so please don't feel shy about it :)
