Hi I am Sam and I am from Colorado. It is so hard to introduce oneself but I will give it a try...
I have three children a boy 13, and two girls 11 and 4; I am married and do a little bit of everything (babysit, teach sunday school, read, write and make a general nuisance of myself when I have the energy). I have always wanted to draw but before the internet, couldn't afford art classes or books and when it comes to figuring it out, I lose patience. I have all these awesome drawing ideas in my head but no way to get them out without tears of frustration when it looks nothing at all like my mind sees it. This site has already taught me so much and I even have a few sketches that I am proud to show others now! I have a long way to go yet, but the frustration is held at bay through everyone just sharing knowledge and encouragement!
Thank you so much for this site everyone!
