Alive and Kicking

I'm coming up on 32k page views. I would like to offer a drawing to the person that gets that 32k. So if you are that page, please take a screen shot of it, and post it on your page and let me know.
I will do a digital drawing, coloring too. No detail background just simple one. Of your character or pet, or favorite animal.
So get to viewing and don't forget to get a screen shot of the winning number!!
A special note to all my watchers, and everyone that comes and visits me. Thank you so much. I enjoy everyone. You all warm my heart and I hope to be around more often than what I have been. Thanks.
Enjoy life.. Best wishes, and take care everyone.

Feature Artist
I've decide how I'm doing my feature artist. I'll be picking randomly out of my watchers list, on who will be feature. So enjoy the month's feature and pay them a visit.
About Me
Now, I am a self taught artist. You can say I was born with a pencil in my hand. Throughout my childhood I always entered into the poster art contest they had. Including in high school, where one of my designs won a contest and then was placed on the school's project prom tee-shirts. That was very nice.
I'm a strong believer that you can't be taught how to draw by someone else. It's something that you and you only have to work at it. It needs to be practice everyday, just like a singer needs too. Yes, I've took art classes, but they don't teach you how to draw, only how to better yourself. You learn techniques in art classes, nothing more. It's actually great, you can learn may ways to use a type of medium that you didn't know you could use it in that way.
I find the best subjects of art are animals, hence the reason most of my work are of them. Though over half of my animal art are of horses. I take great pride in horses. They are wonderful animals to work with. I happen to own horses, wouldn't have it any other way. Of course I do own a few other farm animals, including ferrets, cats, goats, fishes, and cattle. Oh and Great Danes, I just can't forget the "giant" of the dog world. They truly are one of a kind breed.
I'm from the hills of Eastern Kentucky. I have strong feelings for my roots and family. My current age is 22 years old. I'm a part-time college student, and a part-time employee. I'm married (of 3 years), but no children at this time. I have plans of either becoming a teacher or own my own business. As fas as degree I'm much closer to the business area, I have a good knowledge over it. Though I would enjoy teaching art, it just may not happen. That takes money that I don't have.
FAQs
As you can see this is the area of FAQs. It's always good to read through these before you email me. I may have already answer your question.
Are you self taught?Yes I am.. Don't get me wrong though. I have had art classes but not to teach me to draw. No one can teach you to draw, they can only teach you techniques to better your self. And that what I try to do with art classes, better myself.
Do you use references for all your pics?Not on all, but I do on a lot of them.. Its good practice to use references, so you learn the anatomy of things.
How long have to been drawing?All my life really. Well from the time I was able to hold a pencil and know what to do with it.
Will you draw a picture for me?Well yes, but you have to pay money. I don't do freebies so there is no reason to even ask me to do it for free.
Do you make a tutorials?Yes I actually do make them. To find the tutorials you can go to my gallery, and look in the tutorial folder.
Will you teach me to draw?Sorry I can't. That is something you have to learn on your own. Reference photos help a lot. Use them, and give credit. Remember to draw what you see, and not what you know.
Can I reproduce/copy/traced you work? And post it online?No you can not. It is my work and mine only. You need to be creative and do you own. I had better not see someone take my work and claim is as their own. It is against copyright laws.
What is redistribution?Redistribution is the unauthorized use of copyrighted material via sharing files, establishing collections, or the developing of websites for gain while using copyright restricted images, art, photography, coding, writing (content), etc.
