# About me
My name is Alexander Dimitrov from Bulgaria, but I’m more commonly known as XavorTM online. I can’t help the fact my biography is a bit short, since i was only born in 1996. When I was younger, around 4-5 years ago I was obsessed with drawing and I think that hobby really taught me how to decide what looks good and how to balance various elements.Soon after I began trying to get into graphic design but of course, as can be expected, my first attempts were pretty bad. Then I showed my design to a friend from school – Julian Kuntorov, who was much more experienced than me at the time and a bit older. He showed me the direction I should take. The first step was learning CSS and HTML, because back then I was stuck on the WYSIWYG editors. Next, he told me I should look into some professionals and their work to draw inspiration and knowledge from them. As it turned out, it was just what I had needed, because as I now know every young designer has actually next to no idea what to do.
My next big point of my design path was finding graphicriver where i saw opportunity to have a goal. The goal was to sell my product, and being able to sell it means that i have the basic qualities required for proffesional designer. Ofcource, i must admit that at least 3 years passed between these two milesones.
A year after, my first web page template was accepted in Themeforest, when at least a dosen develpers contacted me to work with, but one standed up and since then we work together. You can find him by the nickname “wellthemes”, the team i am in currently and for which i craft my work weekly.
Appart from the work, every man has his hobbies and stuff he love to do. In first place i will put cycling. Training for 3 years so far, i can say its close to be proffesional cycling. Some international races and many in Bulgaria, i take this seroius just as my designer life, with the same opporunities for growing.

Thank you very much
As for your own stuff, keep working on it and you'll become good. Based on the works you posted here, I'd recommend you to try to avoid bluring your lines like you did in Warm Cold Cave because this alter the strength of your drawing; instead, do like in High Above the Ground where all the lines are very well visible and strong, giving character and temper to your scene. Varying with how you orientate these lines, you can give a sense of movement or at least a direction for the watcher to better understand the shapes you try to represent!
Oh, and there's nothing wrong in learning from tutorials, especially the ones you'll find here on dA. Traditional drawing techniques books that you can find in drawing/painting stuff shops will be of great help too!
Keep up the good work, and take care!
