i'm so glad i found this site, it's amazing i hope i can soon contribute to the gallery!
a bit about myself: i've been drawing since i can remember, but never actually used a certain technique or followed the rules, nor did i use anything but a pencil and a notebook. i don't know much about art either, is the opposite of my work area. let's say my drawings please people and i'm often told i have talent. hoping it's a good start, i'll try to get better by reading the tutorials and let myself be inspired by your art works

Howdy and welcome! I'm no artist by any stretch and have a very different day time occupation as well. People here have been super friendly though and many are willing to help when/if needed. Congrats on finding Drawspace.

i've been practising with the tutorials,also i'll go out, i'll buy some nice quality paper, a kneaded eraser (just found out what that is and sounds like fun) and i'll take the challenges in the forum

Welcome
Rules? Actually I started doing acrylics, first and then came here for more of the basics.
Your on the right track now just learn to draw the things that really interest you.
