new member, new painter -- ACMoxon's Sketchbook

[ACMoxon]

Hey, CA community. I've browsed this forum for a couple of years now, but have never mustered up the courage to post, mainly due to intimidation (you are all so good!). Well recently I've been getting my portfolio (mostly drawing, photography, and animation -- not much painting background) to a few schools that I'm applying to, and figured now would be as good as any time to start a CA Sketchbook (that, and the fact that I got a Wacom for Christmas ). Posts will be a bit slow at first, but hopefully I'll get more frequent, and you all can help mold me into a better artist... the digi's will be in order of when they were created, oldest to newest, and the pencil sketches will probably be random order (i have a whole sketchbook to not only add to, but also scan and post here ). So cheers, and wish me luck on my road to more developed skills.

Glad to see you posted in the face of intimidation.
I have never used a waccom tablet but would like to, but mainly I think I want to use one of those new things were you can paint right on the screen!

Anyways, I think the ocean is the strongest, mainly because of color variation and I dig the abstact kinda feel it has going...

Keep up!

thanks for the speedy reply and support! i also like the feel that came out of the ocean one, and tried to apply it to the jungle scene, with little success oh well, guess i'll just keep sketchin'/paintin'. cheers.
