          Posts are looking good so Far! If i were you i would use the "insert image" tool cause on this site when you use there attachment tool it makes everything a thumbnail. Keep up the great work!!

                Do you draw from real life a lot? It's one of the best ways to help build a visual library resource in your mind to pull from when drawing from imagination. It will help your designs to be based on reality but something that doesn't exist at the same time, so the viewer will understand what the thing is even though it doesn't actually exist.

                Feng zhu has a video or two on it on youtube if you haven't seen them already, they're very informative.

                Good start and keep up the hard work .

                          Heya. I am primarily self taught myself (I went to a year of school for 3D to supplement my 2D), and what you're doing is the right track. I used to do study after study after study. SOme other things that helped me to learn digital art and to motivate me was collecting Imagine FX and grabbing any and all art books (Like the Art of (Blank)).

                          Keep it up.
