Hello everyone , my name is Markita and I just stared drawing a few years back , I love to draw with pencil I am look forward to doing the challenges , I have been LURKING about lol and decided to finally say Hi .

Welcome to Drawspace, Markita. I am sure you will enjoy it and the challenges are fun. Its nice to see you post instead of LURKING about. I am the host for this draw challenge and I think I put up some rather nice pictures. A couple of them are my daughters ages 7 and 9. They were dressed for Halloween in the pictures so they look a little older. Don't be afraid to post any questions or what not in any of the other threads. Again WELCOME!!!!

Welcome Markita and welcome to all lurkers,
I have an idea: how about a newbie (like you for instance ) post one welcome message to another newbie who comes after you ? This way, you're getting closer to the "Enthusiast" grade. And also this is a good enter in the atmosphere of this site, and a good opportunity for putting aside all your LURKER hesitations .
Brenda, see if you can add the grade of LURKER, with a smilie instead of square, as a sign .

PS I'm just kidding, I'm myself a BIG FAT LURKER as I never posted a drawing but only comments and jokes .

Welcome to Drawspace Markita. You've done a wonderful job on your first drawing challenge with that portrait. I'm glad you've come out of lurker mode and into the light.

Welcome Markita - hope you enjoy yourself here.

Welcome Markita! I love the name! I myself have only just joined too after lurking for a couple days. We all have to figure out our comfort zone, but I really think this place is a nurturing place for the many things we all have to learn everyday. I find, even if I am not having a 'drawing day', the information to be gleaned here is a very positive thing. I know it will be very helpful in
'drawing out' any of us shy ones.

Thank you everyone for your warm welcome .

Markita,
I'm sorry to not have welcomed you till now. I too, lurk , and often it's here, where I should extend a welcome instead of just reading. I just feel sometimes, I'm not "qualified", to add anything to the forum, except questions. It's hard sometimes, to open up, and say what you're thinking. As for now, Welcome !!
