My Bio
I'm over 30. I am not an artist.

After years of a professional life doing very little with freeform creativity, currently trying to teach myself how to draw. Specifically people. Medium is pencil and paper.

Signed up for deviantart as an act of self-accountability; will have to work things at least to a format which is viewable, with the bonus of then being able to look back on a consolidated portfolio which hopefully will show some encouraging improvement.

I'm really, really starting from scratch, here. There's so many excellent and professional artists on this site, I am embarrassed to consider the comparison. Perhaps somewhat of a motivator...

Tools of the Trade
pencil and paper
Other Interests
fashion drawing, technical drawing, figure drawing, black and white, greyscale, character design, costume design
