# About me
After finishing my studies on the subject of food chemistry and food law, I am now working for a food safety authority. I stumbled upon Deviantart around 2 years ago when looking for relief after stressful days of learning.Amazing artists here raised my interest in starting with drawing again, a thing that I had not done much at all since school times. At the moment, I'm mostly experimenting with digital art. As I only use a very affordable used Wacom Baboo Tablet and the Freeware GIMP and Krita, this allows me to experiment without wasting money and paper. ;-)
Currently I try to learn more about (human) anatomy, but also about drawing landscapes and scenery to have believeable backgrounds. I will also try to apply what I learned from James Gurney's book "Color and Light" in my future paintings. It's affordable and very good to improve one's general knowledge on these two important elements, requires some basic understanding of light and shadow though.
I takes me quite some time to finish new drawings, as there is much learning from guides, books and reference involved.
However, there is a lot of great artists whose work I collect in my favorites, so feel free to have a look there meanwhile. I add the works of artists already to my watchlist. My favorites gallery features more than 400 artists already and it will expand even more in the future. There is just too much good stuff here and I like quite a lot of genres.

A well deserved fave for your work "Livia Augusta". Love the detail there, and the expression of her face that fits her role so well.

Danke! Wenn nur meine Familie auch halbwegs so zuverlässig beim gratulieren wäre wie du! Was das Feiern angeht, habe ich das auf später verlegt (mehrere Geburtstage zusammenlegen -> 3-Gänge-Fressorgie in der Mittagspause ). Habe aktuell auch nicht so den Bedarf, da immernoch die Nachwirkungen einer Hochzeit am Wochenende aktiv.

Nun guuuut, dafür brauche ich wohl mit dem beantworten umso länger.... > <
Hoffe trotzdem, dass du daraufhin gut gefressen hast und entsprechend danach entspannen konntest!

Nun gut, da bist du irgendwie auch nicht alleine... :'D
Uuuuh! Das klingt ja interessant! Ich hoffe doch, dass du schon unterwegs bist und einigermaßen viel Spaß dort hast!
Und wenn nicht...dann viel Spaß dabei! x)

Kommt erst noch. Gerade meine Packliste bisschen zusamengeschrieben. Muss mal sehn, ob ich das danach wirklich noch alles in einen Rucksack bekomm.

Klingt ja nach mächtig viel, was du mitnehmen möchtest.
Aber ich wünsche dir weiterhin viel Spaß dabei, solltest du noch nicht unterwegs sein. x)

You're welcome. For some reason mood of the painting and the light on the rim of the planet remind me of the Diablo III logo/art, btw.
