Gotta Start Somewhere...

A few months I was at an art gallery where people were showing off their diverse art skills. The theme was Tarot Cards. I was amazed by the talent on display. I've admired artwork for a long time (particularly comic books and manga) and decided that I was going to do some drawing of my own. Do my own commissions as it were. So I decided that I was going to teach myself how to draw. This blog will commemorate my progress as I learn stroke a pencil across paper.


I actually tried this drawing thing a while ago. Other obligations kept me from keeping up with it. Above are some simple shapes, a crude sword and my first "manga man".

Here I am a year+ later. My cube looks solid but I'm having trouble resolving round shapes (among other things). Living proff that your skills stand still when you don't practice. Not this time.
As time goes by and posts increase I plan to examine my progress. I will be able to see how far I have come from where I have been. Ideally, I can find one hour per day to sketch something. I plan to update once a week. See you soon!
