Hello, I'm trying to actually draw well, which is actually a big thing for me, instead of just scribbling or putting forth crappy contour drawings. I'm not some great talent yet, but at least I'm willing to understand that, and work at gaining it. Hopefully I can gain some items of interest to sketch on here. I mostly enjoy black and white sketches, just to let you know.

If you'd like to chat, just send me a message or something. I dunno. I'll lurk on this board as well. I'm glad to be here, just to say it.

Hi! I am also new here.. have U been into drawing for long? Drawing well is a big ambition.. i'm also working at it

Welcome to you both. I'm sure you'll enjoy it here. The best way to improve is to keep drawing! And if you join in with the weekly challenges ans ATC trades, you can only get better.

Nope. I'm rather new to art as a hobby and not something required for school projects.

Thank you for the welcome, the both of you.

I have no idea what an ATC trade is. I'll go look it up.

ATC is Artist Trading Cards, something you draw and exchange with your art friends by mailing them the physical drawing.
In my opinion the way it started in Switzerland and the way is designed to be, artist card, implies that you are an artist.That means comfortable in many media to draw, paint in color or graphite accomplished pieces that can be collected by your fellow artists.

Look in the general forum area where ATC are pinned like Childhood theme, birds, birds, birds, etc.

I did just that, Elena. Thanks for the information. Who would have guessed it dated all that way back when?! You are always full of information. I might watch those for people's pictures. :]

I am also new to this site and drawing. I love looking at everyone's amazing work because it inspires me to try new things. Thank you all for your comments, they are very helpful.
