My tutorials serve to help you further your understanding of artistic concepts. Anatomy tutorials are drawn in my style and the models used are my personal preferences.

My pose practices serve to help me study human motion, perspective, and anatomy in a more hands-on fashion. They are sketches, and most of them come from photo references. You may use them in any way you like.

Inspirations:

`Artgerm, one of the best comic artists I've ever seen. Visit his chatroom, #Artgermination. You may find it very helpful like I do!

*phoenixlu, one of my favorite chinese style artists with a magnificently realistic and painterly style.

*JonasDeRo, one of the greatest scenery, landscape, and texture artists I've ever seen.

My background story:

I started like many others: Pokemon, manga, anime fan art. My then-passions.

Several artists unknowingly helped me in exploring the possibilities along the way.

I began drawing "seriously" when I was fifteen, starting with observing ~Orenji-kun's style. After about a year, in June of 2010, I obtained my tablet and finally began coloring.

~Orenji-kun, the person who inspired me to step away from drawing small Pokemon and chibi figures and begin drawing humans

*jurithedreamer, the person who inspired me to begin coloring my art, and the person who inspired me to save up money to buy a tablet.

But, I would put away my tablet for months, and sometimes, I would draw continuously for months. It's an on and off process for me, especially if I'm busy with school or work. I have never taken actual classes before, and I am not an art major or minor. I do not make enough from art to even consider it as small income. As such, it's difficult for me to maintain motivation.

In May of 2012, I began extensive anatomy and value studies, with helpful critique from #Artgermination.

There's so much to learn that sometimes it scares me. But when I put myself to the test and try to draw exactly what scares me, I become motivated to learn it instead.

I am not afraid to take baby steps. I'll keep practicing and self-studying, with the help of those in #Artgermination. Who knows, maybe I'll be successful in the art world some day!

Thanks for reading!
