# About me

Thought I'd do a new pic with my Nephew, who I saw a few weeks ago! :D He's nearly one now and I hadn't seen him since January as he emigrated to the USA (With my brother and his wife....he didn't go by himself :P...)...dawww! :)

I'm 34 (yeh I know :( ) and started drawing in March 2011 after 20 years of ignoring art..(I'm more a scientist). :) I took redundancy from my job, so took up pencilling to give me a new hobby while looking for work :)

It's been a great journey so far and I've had tons of help from the great community here on DA, so long may it continue! :D

Maybe at the end of the year I'll do a new picture, as I'm trying to lose a bit more weight finally :) I lost nearly 4 stone (Err... or about 24kg or about 53 lbs for those who don't use stone :P) last year, so wouldn't mind just another stone or so...bah back to the gym :(

Enough mumbling...I have drawing to do :)

Current Residence: UK
Favourite style of art: Pencils! :) Appreciate many different styles though :D

It may just take me the rest of my life to finish it Ok maybe not that long...but it's a lot of drawing for me hehe It's going to be a challenge to scan something twice the size of my scanner...but apparently it can be done

Ok as this is now buried deep into a conversation on my profile...only the dedicated will click but here is a preview of my reference. Keep it under your hat though! [link]

I got the photographers permission months ago, but wanted it to be my first A3 piece. Going to take a while hehe...

I just hope I can do it justice. The eyes on that photo absolutely nailed me when I was browsing through DA ages ago heh...still only 87 views and I think it deserves more! Should be great practice at drawing water and hair, plus I'm going to do the whole background. If I do it well, I'm going to get it framed and have it on my wall

The photographer has been on DA for ages, but his work hasn't been seen much heh. Take a look at this one: [link] Another shot of the same lady...who has some of the most amazing eye's I've ever seen on DA. I know you like eyes in your pics hehe. The colour and the iris structure is awesome.

Yeh I have a nice house down here with a nice view in the summer....hmm think I have a link somewhere from my window...umm... here! [link] I had some people ask when I did a picture of my dining room table where I draw hehe Only problem now is affording the mortgage

ForceChild In reply to Kalgoras [2011-11-20 19:59:13 +0000 UTC]

Holy smokes! thats awesome!! I LOVE how green it is where you live. Its green here, but not as pretty as it is there. Wow, I wanna go to the UK now. xD Yeah, mortgages can be a little $$$ O____O thats never fun But I'm sure the view is well worth it!

Speaking of the UK (Im pretty sure England is part of it) I was at work the one night and sometimes I like to put on accents and take people's orders... Well I did an English one and no one believed I was from around here rotfl. Eh, that was a random side note.

Kalgoras In reply to ForceChild [2011-11-21 17:36:44 +0000 UTC]

Random side notes are great! I'm sure my accent is fascinating for many people in the US heh It's not a very exciting accent just a general 'southern' accent for the UK We have so many VERY different accents all packed into a relatively small landmass hehe

ForceChild In reply to Kalgoras [2011-11-21 21:17:01 +0000 UTC]

Well I'm glad you didn't mind Actually, I'd probably just sit and stare as you talked. hahaha! I'm highly obsessed with accents "Southern" eh? All I can think of is a south accent in the South of US.
