I'm a female adult beginner in the world of drawing portraits (and other stuff, it seems).
(Even though I've had this account for 4 years already, I only became active here at about the second trimester of 2011.)
While I have a professional background in the performing arts, I haven't really picked up a pencil since elementary school. In other words, I have no idea what the hell I'm doing.
I want to learn and get better though.
Which is why I've decided to start posting here, in the hopes of getting a little feedback if possible. ;)
I'm planning on posting everything I do here. From my first attempt, via the ones I don't like very much, all the way to the ones I'm quite proud of.
It will be a good way to keep track of my progress and I've personally found it extremely encouraging to see 'early' works of those that have become great artists on this site. Perhaps somewhere in the future someone will find it helpful to see where I started???
Did my first two ones in 2010, many months apart. I'd say I started drawing seriously (more regularly) in February of 2011 :)
