Hello! Just wanted to introduce myself… new to the site and drawing( or at least in the last year or so)… never thought I could draw anything more than stick figures, but am looking forward to learning more through this amazing resource. ---

Welcome. Always go for it and try different things. You will succeed with practice. ---

Welcome! 🙂 I always thought that I couldn’t draw and after a month of practice, I wish I wasn’t so hard on myself because it’s so much easier than I thought. The lessons that Matt offers are really good! ---

Hi RainFrances, I am very hard on myself, too, and I have learned that ‘if’ others let me know that they think it is finished, I feel okay to sign it. Otherwise, it calls me to ‘try’ to improve on it. I just sometimes look at what I am doing and tell myself, go ahead and sign it so you won’t be tempted to ‘fix’ it. I usually end up repainting spots and then it makes me end up painting over more places. I think I just need someone to take my brushes or pencils away from me. I am learning so much on this site and absolutely love the way things are presented to us. ---

I think I am going to tell myself that I am ‘new’ at drawing and painting after a long time away from doing anything. 😜 I think I have a split personality. One can draw & paint, the other can’t even get out of the rain - most of the time. I will let you and others decide who you might be entertaining. Thanks for your patience.
