Hey there! M'name's Taiyou. Just call me Tai, for all intents and purposes.
I've been drawing since like...what, 4th grade? Off and on.. started out drawing horses. That didn't go over so well. Dogs? Nope. I'm an animal lover, but I'll be darned if I can't even begin to fathom their anatomy once I pick up a pen.
But people? I love drawing people.
Working on the whole "nature" or "cityscape" background kinda stuff. Yeech.
ANYWAY. Never been to school for art. Never took a proper drawing class in my life. Took a colouring and pottery (don't ask, I don't understand either) class in 3rd grade and hated it. Thought those oil pastels were pretty spiff, though.
xd So I got my art start through anime. A friend showed me how. My first art piece was of Sailor Moon. or... Sailor Moon's stunt double, Stupid Moon.
Okay, bad analogy. But it was UGLY.
But within a week, I managed to surpass my friend in my art quality. She was pissed.
smile I'm not gonna go on from there, but I will say that I have a love/hate relationship with photoshop, my tablet, and my artwork in general.
It is mediocre at best, and downright painful at its worst. But a passion is a passion, even if it's really just a cold fish.
That make sense?
SO. I've always got a critique (albiet a nice one, generally) on the tip of my tongue. I'm so happy to have been directed here.
See y'all round!
