Graphite, color pencile, water color pencile

Greetings, I'm new to forums. Not realy computer savey. but will try and get some of my works up.
Been drawing as far back as i can remimber . With intermitant brakes due to children ect. Now they are geting older and I have more time to spend on art. I love all styles and mediums. As to date the last art class I took was in middle school. But have recently been giveing thoughts to going back and takeing a few courses. Would love to be able to one day suport my family on my art .


hopefuly i did that right.
p.s. my camera is a bit outdated so pictures arnt nearly as detailed as they should be.

Hello Shawna, You've come to the right place for help,what do you want to achieve?

Pleasure to meet you Russ. At this point im very much a baby when it comes to the professional side. No clue as to what my art is worth. Working on putting a collection togeather. but clueless what to do after its all drawn. To be honest no ideal how or where to get my foot in any doors.lol
i also have doughts that my art is "good enough"
i am my very worst crtic

Pleasure is all mine
We all have doubts about our skill levels,practice does make a better image though,maintaining consistency is the problem,tedious,boring,repetitive...etc etc. Thing is,very few make any money,even if you get to a good standard.
Anyway,you are at the right place for help,hopefully,just stick around and see what happens,take the advice and you will get better

I'm always open to tips and sugestions. i have also dabbled in some paints as well. once i master the linky thing ill see about posting some of those as well. Preaty sure there are a ton of methods that i havent tried yet.
Just so were clear. i dont expect to get rich by any means. just dont wanta have to worry no more.
The pics i linked were sadly to big for the scaner. and my lil camera is only a 3.2mega pixel easy share. but they are 17inx14in canson with a asortment of wooded pencils and mechanincals.

Check out the tutorial section on this site.
