Hello,
I just want to say that I think this site is great! I'm just learning how to draw (at 25 ! Oh well, it's never too late right?). I've always wanted to learn, but spent most of my spare time with music instead of art. I am a full time student studying Mechanical Engineering Technology. I found that the topics covered in class (mostly math) have little opportunity for exercising my creativity and so I came looking for a new way to express myself. I am very happy with the progress I've made using mostly the lessons on this site, as well as some supporting reference material (I especially love the squirkles lessons!). I hope to be able learn painting soon, but am waiting until I am a little more comfortable with drawing and sketching first. Thanks to everyone who supports this site, and keep those lessons comin'!

Welcome KK,
This is a great site. I'm 40... er...something and learning to draw. It's been great fun. Post some pictures in your albums so we can see how you are doing.

Hello and welcome to the site put your drawings on and you will get all the help you need.

Welcome KreativeKat, I have just started to learn to draw too, and I am 40 something.

Welcome KreativeKat - You are never to old to learn!!!! Join us in the challenges and post some of your drawings. I look forward to seeing you in the threads.

Welcome to DrawSpace, Kreative Kat!!! its the best site with the best people to learn from. Everyone here is friendly and we all try to help each other in areas we need help in. So if you need anything just search the General Forums and you are sure to find the help you are looking for from someone in there.

Hi Kreative, welcome to Drawspace.

You're right, you need to learn to draw well before you can paint. Drawing is the backbone of all art and without a good foundation, you'll never have really good paintings.

Please ask if you need help in anything and we'll try our best to help you.

Welcome to Drawspace from me too.. No, you are never too old to start. I am wayyyyyy older than your mother and I just started drawing in May.. You are never to old for art..
Glad you joined in.. It's really fun here.

Hello Kreativekat Welcome to the site:) DOnt worry about age, I am the asame age as you and I am taking up drawing now too:) Welcome again! Hope we can see some of your work!

Belive me 25 is young! and it's never too late. I'm glad for you. JanJan

Hello Kat ....welcome and I hope to see some of your work soon

What's up KreativeKat?!

We have quite a few things in common. For one thing, I am a math major and and find myself sitting at my yamaha keyboard in my spare time. (Used to play the saxophone but the poor 20 year old instrument just gave up on me man).

I find the cold hard touch of the mathematical equations and formulas void of any creativity and feeling. Well, Brenda Hoddinott and her fantastic lessons came to my rescue. I am still on the beginner B - Learn to see - section but it is going good so far. Perhaps I will add Brenda's dummies book to my desk before January ends.

So stick around, remember that the integral of the derivative of (y w.r.t x) with respect to x is equal to y + K, and remember do the lessons, preferrably on a daily basis.

Welcome Kat,
Indeed this is a proper place to be creative.
I'm an engineer but I hate math (?) so I managed to write more than I calculate. Anyway, it's all done by computers.
As for age, it's never too late to learn to draw. Pick up a pencil and be a creative, not a... fat cat .
Welcome again,
Fatcat
