I've always had an ability to draw, but I first really started getting serious about drawing just before I got into high school, so about 8 or 9 years ago.

I have been drawing/colouring/painting since basically I was able to hold a crayon and I instantly loved it. Just about everyone in my family can't draw anything other than stick figures, but one of my older brothers and one of my cousins are artistic. We are the artists of the family, I guess. They aren't really sure where we got it. People have told me that I should be an artist professionally, but I just don't really have the...'energy' in keeping up with how many drawings I would have to produce. For now it's just a hobby.

I started with dinosaurs/dragons and moved to more horse oriented art in about 3rd grade...Now I do horses, dragons, people, and just about anything else I feel like drawing.

drawing all over my papers for school, got me marked down because it got so bad. seriosly began to see all you can do and really explore art in high school took all of the classes that they offered and some independant study classes were i had free reign over everything in the school to work with. Heaven! then i went to art college to study animation. found out that i hate animating and have great respect for those who do it. That is also when i found out how expensive art is :( . Been doing it off an on ever since.

I began drawing since I was in preschool.......... I asked my mother to send me to a drawing class at the age of 14 but she sent me to an oil painting class. I painted still life,waterscapes and landscapes. My neighbor liked my work and asked me to paint Frank Frazetta art scene called "The Silver Warrior." The kid was happy with my work so he gave me Frank Frazetta book(copyright 1975) I still have the bookt....but badly damaged...:( . I went on from there creating fantasy drawings and fantasy environments.

Ever since I've been able to hold a pencil :) I didn't take art too seriously until I was 12. When I was 12-13 I went through some kind of extraordinary improvement. My art was a disaster when I was a kid XD but I drew anyways.

I have literally been doing art since I could pick up a pencil, but I've only recently come to see it as a potential career path.

Well when I was a little kid I liked to pick pencils and start drawing on everything just like many many other kids do, but I first noticed I really loved to create and draw, and wanted to do this for the rest of my life at the age of 12 (yeah I know, kinda late, but better late than never ;)), so...that makes now 11 years =D
I remember I first started only w/portraits and caricatures...and now here I am playing w/concepts, character designs, environments, comic stories...It's actually cool to see the improvement over the years and, as a good selftaught guy, only a way high sky is the limit =D

I've always enjoyed drawing and making artworks from a very early age. I was fascinated about fairytales, and fantasy, and also about painting and bright colors. Sometimes I just stare at the world around me and spend some time with its colors. It is very calming and interesting :aww:
For one year I was an art student when I was 13 years-old, and my artworks appeared on student exhibitions. I was very proud of myself, but in the end I chose music instead of drawing :aww:
