I have been Drawn to art all my life, anything sort beautiful ugly is what draws me in and strikes my interest. I had done some art school when i was younger and living in chicago for 6 years but some how wondered my way over to health and fitness, personal training now that im back in canada and am now just finding my way back into drawing after years away and learning all over again, I am self teaching and thought this would be a great place to watch my progress and talk to other artists. My tools of choice are anything really. I tend to draw whatever my mind urges me to, mainly i like to come up with random odd looking faces ..soo maybe you'll like it oor maybe you wont.
