quick hello to introduce myself, williamfarrow8, will post some arrrgghhht as soon as I figure out what I,m doing, digitally. early 2099 might be a realistic expectation! seriously, found this site today from recommendation on Illustrators Cafe, and I'm impressed. Personally, I'm a retired pirate with aspirations to a more genteel form of self expression, pen vs sword and so on. Finding this site vindicates my adopted course of rampaging aimlessly round the tropical web, registering promiscuously till treasure transpires.... drawspace! I particularly look forward to criticism of my work; most art groups I've visited are fun but little more than mutual self admiration/display, which is cool, but does not push/teach me. Anyhoo, hello/congrats/thanks for having me.

arrgh yea matey,
visit yonder critique thread for a full dressing down of your arrght.
Welcome to drawspace.

Hi ya William. I recently joined and this place ROCKS! Check out the lessons. I don't know your skill level (mine is a little below beginner ) but I can bet ya like them regardless of experience.

Welcome to the forum William!

I've only joined recently and everyone here is soooo nice!
They're really encouraging - so encouraging in fact that I actually did a picture for the challenge that I wasn't even planning to do!
