# About me
Um...I have a lot to learn. I love to draw but frequently have trouble allowing my self to do it. I tend to over think the whole process and stress my self out. When I actually start drawing something though - all that stuff falls away and I know why I'm doing it.Any tips/ideas/questions and or helpful criticism is welcome! I look forward to being inspired by all the other impassioned, talented and creative folks out there.
PS:: Also, I'm not so great on the net so any tips for finding my away around deviant or good art/reference sites would be appreciated. Take care!
Favourite genre of music: Rock
Favourite style of art: Figure!
Favourite cartoon character: Makoto (Lita) Kino, Terry Bogard, Tifa Lockheart

I think your people-on-the-train figure studies are great, and I'm so happy that you're drawing more. I can see how you're improving the more you practice. I'm also super excited that you've invested in a tablet and I can't wait to see what you create with it! I'm really proud of you.

Good looking anatomy and facial construction my friend. Though you might want to invest in a new scanner or maybe even a tablet.

Hey thanks for taking a moment to check out my stuff! I really appreciate the feedback! Yes...I really don't even know where to start when it comes to new tech...not exactly tech savy...any affordable/dependable recommendations for a mac? I also have a very vague idea of even what a tablet is or how to use one⦠but most artists seem to have them...tips? Ideas? Recs?

Sure man, you're probably best off getting these things from Amazon.com or eBay.com. I'm a PC user myself so I don't know too much about Macs, but I'm certain that they work fine with most if not all tablets. There are a few brands of tablet out there, but Wacom is one of the most trusted, albeit a bit expensive ($100-$400) You would probably want a medium sized tablet, a 6x8 inches one.
Once you have your tablet, it will probably feel new and awkward, I suggest writing your name and a few setences a few times first before you start drawing, allow your hand to adjust to the new medium. Once you have that covered, the digital medium is open for you to explore.

Hey wow! Thanks so much for taking the time to give advice...I also noticed you were making characters for some kind of Tournament...I read up about it a little bit and it sounds awesome! IF you don't mind sharing a bit more info about it...how do you find these character battle things? Are there a bunch of 'em, because I'd love to just start making characters and send them into battle.

Actually, I don't know too much about OCT's (Original Character Tournaments) myself, I found this through a friend of mine and this will be my first OCT. Its really about who you know and networking with other artists.
All the information on the Tower Tournament can be found here,

I think it's a good method, to just draw people you see, it obviously helps a lot with anatomy and proportion. Great work
