Thanks. I learned by copying what I saw as a kid and sticking with it. I don't have any real training, I don't practice very much which is a mistake, but I never was the practicing type. Talent is probably a real thing. I don't feel like I earned some of what I have. When I was a kid, my stick figures were a little better than the other kids, but not because I'd practiced or worked harder. I just drew them better for some reason. I guess that's talent. I did go to SCAD for a little while. Learned nothing, but I saw seniors with the worst damned portfolios and knew they'd just wasted four years of their lives and tens of thousands of dollars. What was the question again? :)

That's awesome, I honestly thought you had to have all sorts of training to get this good. I'm always trying to learn aswell, so how did you decide what to learn next? And how'd you teach yourself did you just look at pictures and adopt some techniques, and would you have anytips for someone like me, I'm kinda in the same boat I never got any training and drew what I liked(mostly anime and ocs) when I was young then a few years ago I started reading comics and absolutely loved the artwork and even know a bunch of artists by name. It truly surprised me because I had always been told to check them out but only had been exposed older art which didn't appeal to me lol then I saw a little Jim Lee in hush and Michael turner's soul fire and was enamored.
