If you're here and
reading this, then you probably want to know a little bit about me. Well, I've
always been drawing at a pretty young age and tried to draw those TV cartoon characters.
It opened up a new world for me and I was always glad about the compliments I got
for my drawings. From then on it was either sports or drawing and unfortunately I
had to pick between those two when I went off to college.
I chose drawing simply because
I recieved more satisfaction from it then I did with football or basketball. Naturally, I always took the
regular everyday required art courses that everyone took in High School (when
I wasn't playing sports) but was always looking for a way to learn more about
illustrating. Of course for extra credit
I took almost any art class there was, and surprisingly I learned one of
the biggest tips about illustrating: everything you learn and think is useless
now, can be very, very important and invaluable later on.
At that time,
I thought commercial art was a waste of time, it was all about design, layout,
and looking at each drawing or photo differently. But now, I don't
know where I'd be if I didn't take that class and had all of those design
and layout ideas and techniques implanted into my noggin :) I'm still
learning and trying different techniques with all the amazing graphical
stuff and computer art programs out there.
I doubt I won't ever stop learning new stuff everytime and
everyday...just like in life. Anyways, here's a few extra info about
myself, but they won't be too descriptive for my own privacy purposes. 95% of my online time, I'm either on Battle.net, ICQ or just dozing off in my comfy chair >;)
