I'm currently attending College for Creative Studies, part time, an all art school, but I'm mostly self trained, esepcially with CG :) You in school currently?

I actually am a bachleor of E-Business but was allways into marketing and creativity so I did the next logical thing - a graphic design college (which I'm currently attending), nothing art related (except for general art history) there, but I'm looking to expand my skill-set (mostly on my own, since that's what it comes down to in the end - schools can only push you in the right direction, you have to walk the path yourself) and therefore am checking out my options for the next move, that will involve some heavy learning and practice :) I personally believe that I can learn much more on my own than just by relying on an institution but still, I can use all the help I can get if I find it's worth the while right?
I started CG this January, and started taking drawing seriously in general (bought an intous:P) and I think I'm making some nice progress based on the level I'm at now but ofcourse it's because of the long hours I put into it, after work (I work as a graphic designer) and in between activities. I'm sorry I turned this into an autobiography but what comes up must come out imo :)
Btw nice meeting you Brittany, I'm Martin :wave:

Lol nah it's okay!I was the one who asked, no biggy! It's good when people actually have something to say other than the norm. My instructors tell me from time to tiem that I actually dont need to attend college- that I can jump right out into the industry, but I love it there-- the environment, and the people. I feel that if I underestimated my need for school I would miss out on some great learning experiences.

Must be nice though, take up one challenge, master it, then move to another. You must rarely get bored! Aside from art, my passion is cooking and writing

Cool! I like to write too, in fact I even like to record it :) > [link]
However I haven't done anything new in a year so I plan to get back to music by the end of this summer :)
And yeah, it's never boring for me, I try :D

Well I have allergies and I couldn't decide if I wanted to stay asleep or wake up , plus I was having a cool dream, lol so I'd wake up, sneeze a few times, post, go back to bed, repeat the cycle, lol. I sleep walk too, I'm glad I gave you posts you could comprehend, lol. I'm in Eastern Standard time btw, and I live in Detroit MI.

I'm awake now. I just had a waterballoon fight and played in the sprinklers so now I'm tired again but I'll be up drawing.
