And here’s the bad, and the ugly :oops: I also added one photo of a work-in-progress I started earlier this year.

Active ingredient in Bactine: benzalkonium chloride. I’m an information whore, so I like to look up pretty much everything ;) Found this… http://www.annmariegianni.com/ingredient-watch-list-benzalkonium-chloride-the-potentially-harmful-disinfectant. Probably not a big deal with the amounts that you’re using, but good to know nonetheless. :)

Hello and welcome!

Wow… and I thought I was busy! Welcome!

Welcome!

Welcome! That’s why most of us are here… we’ve tried it at one point, loved it, and now we want to do it the right way! The best way to start is READ READ READ! :D There’s a plethora of information on here, and all over the internet, just be cautious. If it it’s something you wouldn’t want done to you, it’s probably not a credible source. Good luck!

Yep… way to go, it is now your fault that I will be wasting away in front of my computer lol. See… I’m doing it right now when I should be reading my History of Graphic Design book :mrgreen: Also, It is great to see you using brushes to blend. My drawing professor, while he is very good at what he does, had us using our hands :x I ruined so…[Read more]

Good lord Len, I just found your youtube channel…… great… now I’ll never get anything done! :lol:

Infamous, I found this website a looong time ago when I was trying to find free drawing lessons (hey, don’t judge… I’m broke :lol: ). There’s LOTS of stuff on it, and it has been super helpful. http://www.drawspace.com/lessons
If you’re often like me and strapped for cash, I would be happy to mail you some different pencils and stuff. Let’s…[Read more]

Spider, that is EXACTLY what I wanted to see/hear! :D I love me some positive reinforcement. Thank you thank you thank you! Love the samurai by the way ;) I just started my Computer Graphics & Typography 1 classes last week, and we’re learning Illustrator & InDesign. I’m hoping that my Type 1 class will greatly improve my lettering ability…[Read more]

Amen to that Spider! I completely agree with you, and THAT is the way it should be done. However, if I were a seasoned artist (which is what I ask myself all the time ;) ) looking to expand, I would not only look at what someone can do, but how they learn. Being in college, I have learned A LOT. Not only about art itself, but also about the way…[Read more]

Spider, how helpful has the graphic design education been toward actually tattooing? That’s where I’m at right now… end of my 2nd year & 2 more to go. When I graduate I’ll have an associates in studio art, and a bachelors in graphic design with a minor in web development. I know that any education is always helpful, but I just don’t want to feel…[Read more]

Len, just how far from this city are you? And which one is it… that way if I ever decide to travel, it isn’t there lol.

Infamous, I am from PA :D

Hey, no problem JDawn! Any chance to make a few extra bucks is always helpful!

Ram, I have gone to great lengths to “follow the rules”, and the reason I decided to move my “office” (which was previously upstairs in a carpeted room… uck :shock: ) to my living room is because I could create a separate entrance AND it’s separate from the rest of…[Read more]

I started the dragon in 2011, which was on a disk with a bunch of flash. This one is on my hubby, so I get to look at it every day and see where I went wrong lol. It’s a good thing though… seeing first hand what not to do, and where I can fix it. I’ve added a bit of color since then, but it’s nowhere near finished.
