@aska Welcome to the forums! A gap year sounds nice. I hope you can reach all your goals. Set your self some bench marks to reach so you can see the progress you are making.
@Eric-Castleman Nice welcome, thx! 
@Sarah-LuAnn I got to know about this forum from youtube, where I was watching Will Terry. I love his artwork Concerning my gap year ... I am loving it!
@DOTTYP Thx:-) Iam preparing myself to show you guys some drawings. Thats what I joined the forum for right? Just being a bit nervous and shy 
Comping soon tho
@Chip-Valecek Good talk It's good to set goals. Thats why I am trying to take part in some competitions. Mostly for deadlines, as I realise I am not at the right level yet. Also I promised one or two books to my kids. I really want to use my gap year well, which BTW is awesome
Aska I know what you mean about being nervous showing art in this forum I feel the same,everyone is so professional ,I only do Deviant art and Artstation at the minute.I have only been here about 6 weeks ,but I can see a big difference in my art by following the videos,so good luck you will get more confident.
@DOTTYP Thanks! Thats what I need PS: I don't even do Deviant...
Deviant art is when you spend 3 days on a painting ,and a childs scribble or some awful porn get more faves than yours lol,still it is fun you should join there are some nice people there.
@aska Welcome!! I'm also getting ready to take a hiatus and focus on my work and portfolio! You're going to love this community Can't wait to see your work!
@DOTTYP
That is an accurate description of Deviantart. I've met some awesome friends there, but sifting through the junk makes it kinda unfun to hang out and browse.
@MissMarck thank you:) Ive just put some stuff, so pls take a look and let me know what you think.
