Hello SVS! I'm Allison Gunnoe, and I'm a 21 year old artist who's been drawing her whole life, but only now stopping and taking a look at what I really want to do in life. Art has always been one of my biggest passion and while I dreamed of doing art for a living when I was younger, I shrugged off that dream with the thoughts that the art field is not a stable enough field to be able to live comfortably in. Now that I can see otherwise, I'm ready to start taking the steps to really hunker down and get serious about creating art and working on stories that I've had in my head for years.

I'm a young artist who's been drawing since as long as she could remember, and I've got a long ways to go. My dream is to create and publish a graphic novel series and become able to live on creating art for both myself and for others.

Progress for "Independent"
Goodness, how long has it been since I first (and last) posted? Last november! Sorry about vanishing off the face of the earth there... but I'm back in the game, and have decided to tackle this month's contest! Here's the current sketch. It's still super rough, but I like where it's going.
When I think of the word independent, the first thing that came to mind was when I finally moved out of my parent's house. Getting out of the house finally was both really exciting, but man it can hit you like a train that you're truly going to have to stand on your own two feet from then on out. I want to capture that initial anxiety, but also the hope of starting with a fresh slate. Any advice is more than welcome!

RE: Progress for "Independent"
@WithLinesOfInk That's actually a great idea! Went ahead and skewed with the dimensions a bit and I like this angle a lot better, what do you think? I'll be redrawing the character with the proper angles of the body and such and adding some stuff like boxes and furniture.

RE: WIP for "Independent"
@WithLinesOfInk With the explanations, I'm personally rather fond of 24! Though the composition of 18 could be a lot of fun to see too.
