I've started to experiment more and more with traditional methods of painting. Actually using acrylic paint and expanding my knowledge of pencil. Which has allowed me to expand how I paint on the computer. Till just a few months ago, I was still using a mouse/keyboard combo to do any kind of digital art. I finally purchased a Bamboo tablet and have been experimenting with brushes and strokes and more. Now some stuff I have done has gone right into the recycle bin, but two works have turned out really well. My first is Black Masquerade.  :thumb375477819: I'm really pleased how this turned out. Is it perfect? Hell no! But I really am pleased

1. I have traveled to almost every European country before I turned 21 2. I began my path of art when I was just 5 years old (I was in kindergarten) 3. I sold my first art piece in 2008. 4. I'm neither a Warsie, nor a Trekie, but a Whovian. 5. I'm obsessed with Stephen King. 6. I have a large collection of Hawiian shirts 7. I am certified Bookkeeper. 8. I love black,but if I were to pick a favorite color, orange is pretty awesome. 9. I am a craft beer connoisseur   10.I'm a shoe freak, in fact I've been called a Sneaker Head. I have 11 pair of sneakers and counting... Just for fun

It's amazing the work I've seen on DA lately. Including my budding artists daughters. One with Pencil and the other with makeup. Now my career as an artist is no where near what I would have wanted it to be. I am a different breed of digital artist, that still embraces the traditional. Shadows, and depth, focal points and perception, conception and surrealistic view points over the mass amounts of CGI paintbrushed photo manipulated art. Don't get me wrong, It takes extreme talent to do what these artists do. I have tried to do what some of them do and come nowhere near what they do. One of them is on my watchlist, :~WCS-Wildcat:.
