Ape's beginning

[KidApe]

Heya,*gulp* I've finally fixed my internet connection and bravery to make a SB thread. Well, I'm almost 21 and when I'm not shoveling popcorn for a movie theatre I'm trying to improve my drawing skills. I'm going to try painting pretty soon as well. I've been a lurker for far too long and I'd love to join this wonderful community:teeth: :yayca: Oh, and Marko Djurdjevic I love your insanely creative character designs and primal badass lines!<3 Here goes nothing:

Man, my values are really bad,heh. I will keep working on it.

I'm in constant amazment of what Marko Djurdjevic puts out. After seeing his He-Man redesigns I was in such amazment I tried to do his Skeletor:wink:

Again with the shitty light valuesXD

Alright, so here is some stuff that I doodled in my new Moleskin. Cause everyone knows it's a magical sketchbook that automatically makes drawings better.
