No please do comment on them! Can you point out some examples of where I’m going wrong please?

Thanks peter! Hopefully your less of a skeptic now haha. Appreciated!

Clay, that’s exactly what my situation is. I have fallen in love with art and really want to do everyting I can to be the best I can be. I’ve found that my family and friends all give me shit for wanting to pursue it seriously due to the whole ‘ doesn’t lead anywhere situation”. However I believe you can make it lead somewhere if you work hard…[Read more]

Thanks for the feedback. I’m actually trying to get into a fine art course at university starting next septemeber! I applied for biology and have totally taken to art now and have fire in my eyes for it, I really want to become better and I am really working my ass off right now. All I do is read and draw at the minute it seems!

Thanks so much david glad to finally here some constructive critisism! Also your work is a massive inspiration to me, so thanks. Ill get to work on that apple asap!

Well im 18 years old so ive got a good few years left to improve before i can think about doing an apprenticeship… i’ve never taken an art class, i study biology chemistry and philosophy and art is more of a lifelong passion, i simply cant see myself doing science as a career and i really feel that tattooiing is something i could be good at and…[Read more]

Hey!

This sounds brilliant so I’d like to see you give mine a go if possible please?

I would like a gothic dragon as a sleeve. I’d like the head on the top of my shoulder/chest area and snaking around my arm with the tail stopping on the tip of my wrist. I don’t want a chinese-looking dragon but like a traditional…[Read more]
