Hi all, just joining this fantastic forum

Hi everyone, my name is Tony and I am from Portsmouth UK.
I have recently rediscovered a love of drawing, used to draw (badly) as a teenager and now nearing my 40's
I stumbled across this website whilst looking for tips on improving my portraits,and thanks to comments and critiques made by the members here I have already made progress.
I have long way to go, but maybe one day I will have a piece that I will be happy to show, and take on board the constructive criticism that makes this forum so great.
I find the standard of a lot of artwork posted here is incredible and I will strive to reach anywhere near this level

welcome and glad you found us.

Thanks Russ and Shawna.
Russ, just like to say you became a favourite critique of mine very quickly when I first found this forum.
I would look at someones work and just think "Wow that looks great", then scroll down to find things you had noticed/tips to improve etc., then when I looked at the picture again would think "oh yeah, never noticed that". So thanks for helping me to start looking at drawings in a new (better) way

You're the second person this week to praise me Thank you for your honesty.
I've said this before,because of my disability with my eyesight...it makes me 'look' and not browse.

Forgive my ignorance Russ, I'm quite new to the forum and didn't realise you had an eyesight disability.
In that case, it makes your work even more impressive.
