      Hey everyone,

      My name is Savina & I just joined the site. I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!

      I guess we're supposed to give a bit of background on ourselves, but there really isn't much to say...I started drawing 4 1/2 years ago and have been obsessed since. I'd had the desire to draw throughout my entire life, but I had the mistaken belief that artists are just born with amazing skill (don't ask me why I thought that), so I just never tried. Unfortunately no one disabused me of that silly notion (including the artist boyfriends I had throughout my life) until I met my now-husband, a fellow artist, who has been amazing and supportive throughout my artistic journey. So here I am.

      Throughout the time I've drawn, I've used mainly graphite and some colored pencils, but a little over a month ago I found pastel pencils and fell in love. Using color is an entirely new exciting challenge for me. I'm not much of a fan of the digital medium, although as I progress, I imagine that could change.

      Anyway, that's me in a nutshell. I really look forward to talking with everyone!!! (Also, I've included a few of my pieces)[The-Mouse-Wizard.jpg](uploading 100%) The-Mouse-Wizard SMALL.jpg TIPSY SMALL.jpg The-Chapeau SMALL.jpg

              I am already a fun of yours. These pieces, especielly the first one reminded me to Alfred DΓΌrers work. Are you doing this for a living?

                @Jana Wow, Durer - that's an awesome compliment, thank you! I'm an emerging artist and I sell my originals as fine art illustrations at art festivals and a local gallery, but it's all not enough to support my family yet :/...I still have a lot to learn but I'm hopeful I'll get there! πŸ™‚

                        Welcome! Your work looks wonderful, I'm sure you'll benefit from this forum a lot if you post for critique. I recommend starting a sketchbook thread here and posting whatever you're working on, it can be immensely beneficial.

                                      Gorgeous line work Savina... definitely has that lithograph feel to it. I'm also enjoying your other piece with the monster guy... welcome to SVS!
