NEW STUFF ON LATER PAGES
But no reason you can't start here



I am pretty new here, so here's a quick introduction. I've been meaning to learn to draw better for a while now, and I thought making it my new years resolution would motivate me to draw more often. If this goes according to plan, I will be drawing a minimum of one thing everyday. From past experiance, trying to learn everything at once is too stressful, so I'll be doing this one peice at a time.
First off, perspective!







This is my first time posting an image so hopefully this will show up.
Also, I dont have a scanner, so you will have to deal with camera pictures until I get one.
