But I love drawing people and I’m getting back into animals. I used to only draw animals when I was a kid and then I switched my focus to learning the human face and am now finally getting back into that. If you creep through old threads on here you’ll stumble across my stuff.

Here’s a warm welcome to the both of you! Sorry, I wasn’t here right away to welcome you all in, but I’m glad you found yourself here. But good news! I’m all moved into my new apartment and a new semester has started.

So what kind of art do you both like to make?

I typically do portraits but honestly I’ll do just about anything with my copic markers. I also enjoy doing the occasional animal.

I do acrylic painting sometimes too, but my markers drawings are what you’ll typically see around here.

Do you consider yourself more of a serious artist or just a hobbyist?
